About once a year, we like to check on the progress of Ai Methodist Church. It is located on Highway 68 in Oak Ridge. Over the centuries, the church has changed ownership and denominations; however, since 2009, Preservation Oak Ridge has been overseeing its restoration. In 2009, when Preservation Oak Ridge took over, not only did the church not have lights, it didn't even have a roof. Preservation Oak Ridge has played a leadership role in restoring this church. If you are interested in helping, they have a work day scheduled in February and options for donations online.
The property has a church and a cemetery; the church dates to the late 1700's and the graves date to 1819. If you want to connect to the 18th and 19th century without leaving Guilford County, head out to Ai Church, just south of the Old Mill of Guilford. While the church is beautiful by daylight, the velvety look of the façade makes it irritable to photograph at night. Happy Sunday!
It does look pretty by night!
