This past Sunday’s Drive took us through our neighboring county, Morgan County, Missouri. The idea of catching some great doors often hinges (no pun intended) on whether you might get threatened with a double barrel when pointing your camera at someone’s property. I’m still trying to educate my fellow rural Missourians on the world of blogging and our love of scenery. Doors included.
Enter Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Hwy D, Fortuna, Missouri. Pronounced For-Choo-Na.
Highway Signage
Front View with cemetary to the side
You can see there are a good amount of native trees surrounding the church. Literally surrounding it—as well as Virginia Creeper climbing its siding. Some are allergic to this vegetation, so leave it be.
Full Door View with lights intact, barely.
Side facing cemetary is fairly tidy.
 Not a lot to say about this church as its website is non-operational when I click on it. But the church is listed as a member of the Lamine Baptist Association. So it is under care of a sort. The size of the cemetary suggests it certainly had a vigorous past that dated back to the mid 1800’s.
Opposite side walkway
A later addition to the back
Side door with top screen detached.
The hubby is braver than me on this occasion.
He took a picture of the interior and I could have shared it, but I made an executive decision to leave it out of this post. Would your conscious bother you?
When I looked up, I had already made a mental decision.
I hope you’ll decide to head over to the Thursday Doors home at Norm 2.0Â and visit the other entrants of doors from around the world.
