St. George's Episcopal Church - Helen's comment: "It was built in 1671 and many of my ancestors are buried here. It was a hot day to paint but the grounds keeper kept me entertained with wonderful stories about the history and the area."
[Ed. note: St. George's in Perryman, isn't just one of the oldest parishes in Harford County; it is the oldest in the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland.]
