    This vintage photograph captures the historic Old Salem Lutheran Church located in Craigersville, Virginia, within Madison County. Erected in 1740, it holds the distinction of being the oldest Lutheran church in America. The building showcases architectural features that reflect its colonial origins, including notable doors and a traditional fence that enhance the church’s historical significance.

    The church was organized by German families who settled in Virginia around 1713. An early organ, said to have been gifted by the King of Sweden, was installed in 1802, a testament to the churchs long-standing traditions and cultural connections.

    This image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, emphasizing the importance of historical preservation and documentation. The photo serves as a valuable resource for understanding early American religious architecture and the significant role of the Lutheran community in shaping Virginias cultural landscape.
