Geocache Description:


St. John's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church in Maury County, Tennessee, United States. Built from 1839 to 1842 by Bishop Leonidas Polk, it was an active church in the Antebellum South. It was ransacked and later used as a hospital for the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861-1865. Services resumed after the war, but they were discontinued due to low attendance in 1915. No longer an operating church, it is only used once a year for services on Whitsunday. The attached graveyard is the burial site of four Episcopal Bishops of Tennessee.

Although the cache is not placed near any of the graves, please be respectful as you explore this historic cemetery and avoid seeking this geocache at night.
