Wikipedia Description: Pohick Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pohick Church is an Episcopal church in the community of Pohick near Lorton in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States.

History:

Originally founded around 1695 as Occoquan Church, in the Anglican Truro Parish of Virginia, it was later renamed Pohick Church in 1732 after relocating near Pohick Creek, a site now occupied by Cranford Methodist Church.

In 1769, work was begun on the present Pohick Church structure and it was completed in 1774. It had several notable members of the vestry who helped raise funds for its construction, including the first President of the United States, George Washington, and his father Augustine, George Mason, and George William Fairfax (a relative of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron). It was custom at the time to raise money for the funding of the church through the purchase of private pew boxes.

Following the disestablishment of the Anglican church by the United States Congress in 1785, many of what were renamed Episocpal churches fell into decline. However, Pohick Church remained active with Washington biographer Parson Weems serving as rector of the church periodically.

However, the church was raided by the British in the War of 1812 and was only used sporadically by Episcopals in the early part of the 19th century and the building fell into decline.

A national fundraising effort allowed for a restoration in the 1840s but during the Civil War, the church was taken over by occupying Union troops, who used the church building as a stable. Northern soldiers vandalized and looted the building and their graffiti is still visible on the church walls.

Following the Civil war, services at the Pohick Church resumed in 1874 and the building underwent another restoration at the end of the 19th century.

2006 photos: Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia. Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point.. Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
