The Historic Warrior Run Church and nearby cemetery remind us of what it was like to be a part of early American history by giving us a glimpse of the period's interesting people, architecture, and religious practices. Since the church was such a large part of colonial and post-colonial life, we can gain insights that nowhere else can provide.
