This photo of the St. John's Catholic Church
of Miltonsburg, Ohio was taken in November 13, 2002. The church is located about a mile northwest of Miltonsburg on
one of the highest hills in the area.
The stone construction suggests the design of the old churches of
Europe. From its position atop the hill
it commands an excellent view of the surrounding countryside. This stone structure was almost certainly
designed by someone who was young because its location high on the hill makes
access very difficult for people who would have trouble climbing stairs. There is a lane up the hill at the rear of
the church to a point near the front door but there is practically no parking
around the church. A new concrete ramp has
been installed that may help the situation.
The hillside around the church serves as a cemetery. The building pictured above is at an
altitude of 1425 feet and is located at latitude N 39o 50.263' and
longitude W 081o 10.525'.
