Wilmington, NC

Today we arrived in Wilmington, North Carolina. It is a very historic town on the river leading to the sea.

This is the First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington. This building was finished in 1928 after 3 previous buildings were burned down. It is a beautiful gothic building and we were able to get a great tour of the sanctuary. Beautiful stained glass window and fabulous wood work. Woodrow Wilson's father was pastor of this church from 1874 to 1885 and the president considered this his home.

This was one of the windows in the First Presbyterian Church. We also were able to go into St. Mary Catholic Church. It will have it's 100th Anniversary next year. The brick building of this church was incredible.
