Ruins of St. George Chapel, Charles Town, W. Va.
"St. George's Chapel was the first church erected West of the Blue Ridge Mountains. No record has ever been found on the exact date of its erection, owing to the fact that it was part of Norborne Parish, England. The original furnishings were brought from England. The roof of sheet lead was used for bullets during the Civil War."
