A reddish-brown photograph of the African-American congregation of St. Nicholas Church in St. Ignatius, St. Mary’s County, Maryland. The image depicts a large group of people standing in front of Saint Nicholas Church. The foreground depicts a dirt path leading to a wooden fence. A white horse is near the fence on the left side of the photograph. Trees are on the right side of the photograph. Behind the fence is a large field with the church at center. A line of women and men are standing in front of the building. The women appear to be wearing white colored clothing and the men appear to be wearing dark colored clothing. A bell on top of a wooden structure appears in the left side of the photograph. A black horse buggy is next to the bell. Another horse buggy is on the right side of the image. The church is topped with a belfry and a simple wooden cross. Two windows are on the front of the church; one of which appears to be missing glass.
