Words of Civil War soldiers found on walls of small church
In November 2008, Klusmeyer hired workers to clean the inside of the church, which had not been used for several years. As the workers began removing layers of paint, they were stunned by what they found and called the bishop to say, "I've discovered something you need to see."
Morgan's Chapel provided housing for both Confederate and Union soldiers at various times during the Civil War. Among the notations is one dated as early as March 5, 1862.
There is a photo of one of the pieces in the article. I want to know if anyone out there has been to this place and if they can provide me photos. Graffiti is nothing new. The longer it stays up the more likely they will try and preserve it.
