“The Church in the Wildwood” is a song that was written by Dr. William S. Pitts in 1857 following a coach ride that stopped in Bradford, Iowa. It is a song about a church in a valley near the town, though the church was not actually built until several years later. In the years since, the church has become known simply as “the Little Brown Church” (Wikipedia).
The church was built, painted brown, and dedicated in 1864. To the best of my knowledge, it is still a tourist attraction today.
The original Chuck Wagon Gang recorded Dr. Pitts’ song. You can hear it by clicking at the bottom of this page.
