Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church. This is one of the first churches I remember.  It was just down the road on Rt 11 from Fairfield Presbyterian.   My Lipscomb cousins went to this church.  It's a beautiful grey stone structure & is bigger than Fairfield's church. It also is much older--built in 1756, 19 years after the first settlement in Rockbridge County, according to the historical marker out front.

It has an adjacent cemetery where many of my ancestors are buried.  Not my grandparents, but great grandparents and older.

I have attended weddings & funerals at this church, as well as Sterrett-Willson family reunions.
