Additional Details:
Early Mary Pickford films show this historic rural church in its original white. Built in 1885, the church sits in a wooded vale under shelter of giant oaks as befits the hymn "Church in the Wildwood." The old hymn was indeed inspired by the rustic beauty of another small Congregational church years ago in Iowa. Little Brown Church is in Sunol, midway between Niles and Pleasanton at the entrance to Kikare Canyon. Without regular services for 25 years, it was reactivated in 1949 by the Reverend Robert B. Whitaker, now Pastor Emeritus. As a community church its doors are open to all faiths. It offers a lovely setting for a simple country wedding.
