Windsor Ruins

This place is so much bigger than the pictures let on, but it was much harder to get to then advertised. Driving there was an adventure in and of itself. We had to get off the Trace and drive through the deep south down some back country roads. We passed a church that was built in 1824, still standing. It was not a historic site it was just there. I guess because there is no need for the land yet, some things here are just left alone. This church was pretty awesome, It wasn't extravagant it was simple, which is what in my opinion made it so neat. Most things that are preserved are the exceptional things, which in a way deserve to be saved. But the day to day things are more of a window into the past. Not everyone lived in plantation homes. This church was honest. The Ruins were on the other hand amazing. I can hardley imagine how grand the house must have been. The iron work and pillars had nice details. We met a very nice guy at the ruins, which was comforting because being alone off that sketchy road was unnerving. He was quite the history buff. We talked with him for a while and he showed us a picture of a church in Rodney that still had a cannonball in the brick from a confederate attack on the union. The church is still used today.
