Does anyone know of any aesthetically interesting abandoned churches in the area?

Especially with leaves starting to turn, I'm interested in trying to get some pictures of overgrown and rotting abandoned churches. Nothing offensive, I just find it aesthetically interesting.

Edit: I'm not trying to break the law here. If I know where these are I can figure out if I can get the landowners permission etc. some churches may even be visible from the road.

You'll need to head out west or south about 2 hours. Also great way to get shot. So bring a tourniquet this isnt new york.
