This little church looked like a proud symbol of faith and community. It stood tall despite its size. It was an inviting site for taking photos, checking history or just admiring the view. The railroad businesses nearby are also interesting.
With the fall colors in the background this little church stood out next to the vacant railroad cars.
We stopped to look at the little white church while we waited for the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad trip. It was a cute restored and maintained church building. There was a nice platform built on the side so we could easily view through the window. There was also a nice amount of history and information that was interesting to read. What we found charming was that it is not only a historical building but still currently in use - they have monthly services through the warm months and use it for weddings and special occasions. It's nice to see history preserved in such a nice and shareable way.
Charming little church that I would love to get married in, but not again (2x is the charm for me).There are many places to eat in the small town and an awesome burger kiosk across the road from the church (don't miss it the burgers are really good).
After we had gone on the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad...we stopped at the tiny chapel next door since we are Lutherans. The history was interesting and when we spoke to the two volunteers asking where they were from.... and when we told them we were from Ocean Shores WA...they asked if we knew a couple that worsjipped at the local Lutheran Church there?Yes we did...and to make a point on how small the world is...that couple presented the worship service the following day because the pastor was on vaction. We had already found out that the couple we sat with on the train had graduated from the same high school. We have found local people all over the world...amazing isn't it how the world has shrunk!
Little white church with a long history in a beautiful setting. Articles and pictures from the time it was a schoolhouse as well as the transformation to a church make it an interesting place to look through.
We stopped in while waiting for the Scenic Steam Train Ride in Elbe. Very tiny but well preserved. The volunteer had much to tell us. It was an interesting side attraction.
Cute stop on the way to Mt. St. Helens from Eatonville. Great photo op for people who like roadside wonders. The scenery behind the church is beautiful and the church itself is a cute little sight!
Nice, historical place, very old church, clean and well kept. Its also available for weddings. Food nearby in the railroad cars, upscale and worth while - beautiful location, we'll come here again.
This tiny church in the tiny town of Elbe is worth a brief visit. Well maintained and dating back to the early 1900s it evokes the charm of years gone by. Services and weddings still go on here, and the organ is original to the building. Curved, hand-hewn pews add to its nostalgic charm.
