Fleetwood Church

Built post-Civil War in 1880, this beautiful decaying church building is now for sale. It is in the historic little town of Brandy Station, Virginia. The largest cavalry engagement of the Civil War took place in this area, as J.E.B. Stuart attempted to shield Robert E. Lee's troop movement north toward Pennsylvania. The Battle at Brandy Station was a precursor to Gettysburg.

it would be a shame to lose this great old church....

[Khawbecker]

@jayberg I agree. It's apparently unsafe to enter already.

What a quaint looking church and a lovely shot of it. I hope it sells and can be used for something.

Oh wow! I hope someone gives it that loving care. Love the capture of this. Quite the history.

Looks like it would make a nice little house. What a historical piece. Love it. Thank you for sharing the history.
