Church in the Wildwood..the little brown church in the vale..
« on: August 21, 2011, 03:01:25 PM »
  We have probably nearly all enjoyed this old hymn.   In 1857, a Dr Wm S Pitts was travelling through a valley near Nashua, Iowa.  He was struck with the beauty of the spot and envisioned a littl brown church there in the vale.  Right off he wrote a song, picturing just what he visualized..  Imagine his surprise when a few years later , travelling through the same valley..he discovered that a church had been built there.
      Listen to the beautiful voice of Dolly Parton as she sings that old hymn..also see a photo of the actual church..still in use..

When Dolly recorded this she was a truly sweet, beautiful, young lady.  She does a wonderful job; I also like the Statlers version.
