Description

Historic Oysterville Church by Beverly Guilliams..............................................................


The Oysterville Church was a gift to the community from founder, R.H. Espy, who donated the land and money for construction in 1892. Over a hundred years later the picturesque little church of Oysterville continues to welcome visitors with open doors. Hundreds of visitors from all over the world sign the guest book every year as they pick up a Walking Tour and enjoy the quiet of the village. The "poor box", located in the church vestibule, has long been a reliable source of revenue, helping to pay for the historic structure's ongoing maintenance......“If I had a dollar for every photograph taken of the church…” I can still see my father shaking his head in amazement at all the attention the little Oysterville Church began to receive in the early 1980s after it had been restored. Make no mistake about it though, he took his share of pictures too. And why not? The little building seems the iconic symbol of 19th century rural village life and most especially so with a bright coat of fresh paint.......For more history look up Historic Oysterville Church....Thank You for visiting.
