Life in Antrim

A bit of Adventist history...

I'm Seventh-day Adventist, and close to Antrim is a bit of Adventist history. As a road sign on Route 31 states, Washington, New Hampshire is home for the first Seventh-day Adventist Church (pictured directly to the right).

(I did take a picture directly from the front, but prefer the side angle.)

To the right of the church was a cemetery...quite picturesque in the late afternoon sunlight.

Since the church is quite remote and on a dirt road, it is not open during the winter (they meet instead in Hillsborough). The brass plaque I've included in this montage not only gives a good history of the church, but says quite a bit about how Seventh-day Adventism got its start.

If you are interested in a short "informative" walk, the Washington SDA Church created the "Sabbath Trail" which traces "the history of the Sabbath from creation to the new earth" (to quote the marble plaque pictured here). I didn't actually take the path...it was getting late and Jenn and I were being bug food as I took the various shots.

If you click on any of the photos you'll get a larger version...they were all taken yesterday on the way back from picking up Jenn in Lebanon...
