After several damp, misty days that saw fog roll in each night, the spell of murky weather appeared to be slowly clearing out today as a few sun rays poked through breaks in the cloud. During one of those fleeting moments, an old house of worship on top of a Harford County hill caught some of the light. But the clearing was slow going as dark clouds still squeezed in around one lone white, puffy cumulus cloud. The church is the Watters Meeting House or Thomas Run Church. The rubble stone Methodist Church was built about 1840 on a spot that previously had a log structure. It served the congregation, until the doors closed for the final time in 1947.
