Pohick Episcopal Church

What an interesting find while driving home from a friend’s house. I was amazed to learn that this church was one that was financially backed by George Washington, his father, and George Mason. It’s EXTREMELY old, and the cemetery is full of headstones that will validate that. I mean, I came across an old Native American Indian chief that is buried here.
The church itself is the most fascinating to me. It was established as the first permanent church in the colony north of the Occoquan River. This church has seen more than its share of history. Union soldiers really took a hard hit here during the Civil War stealing antiquities from inside that were George Washington’s himself. They carved their initials in the entrance of the church façade which is very visible today.
The church offers free self-​guided tours and occasionally on Sundays after service.
