Bloomsbury is Exit 7 off of Route 78 going west on 78 after you go
through the Jugtown Mountain cut. The Bethlehem Baptist Church with the
cemetery next to it is just off Exit 11 (Pattenburg-West Portal) on the
south side of 78 just before you go over Jugtown Mountain. The church
remains are visible from 78. There are only 4 walls remaining of the
church. When I first saw the church in 1968, the cemetery was completely
overgrown, the church still had a roof and floor and there were pews
still in the church. Over the years the roof fell in and the interior
was gutted. It has been stabilized, however you can't enter the church,
but the grounds have been cleared. There are many missing stones, but
some of the ones there are readable. If you hop on Route 78 west from
Exit 11, Bloomsbury is at the next exit--Exit 7-on the other side of
Jugtown Mountain.
