My genealogy often takes me to Jefferson County, Missouri. Last week I went to Bethlehem Baptist Church (above) to take some photos. Jefferson County is south of St. Louis, but the area I was visiting was near Grubville which is in the northwest quadrant of Jefferson County near the counties of St. Louis, Franklin, Washington---Big River Township.
It's a quirky place where people sometimes hold grudges. . .
It's a little "country". . .
Or, advanced if you think how "green" an outhouse really is. . .
It's the home of concrete statues---LOVE the pink pig. . .
Quiet country roads and villages. . .
Beautiful scenic drives. . .
With fabulous new roads replacing the stomach-churning twisting and turning roads of my childhood. . .
Towering bluffs and rock formations. . .
And, no billboards to take away that breath-taking beauty excepting at the already commercial intersections. Jefferson County is beginning to grow on me.
