Watch Jeff's story in the video player below:Volunteers work to restore historic Sashabaw Presbyterian Church in ClarkstonThe Sashabaw Presbyterian Church, built and furnished for $3,000 in 1855, has sat vacant for more than 25 years and fallen into disrepair.
Now, a small group of volunteers is working to restore the historic building and reopen it to the public.
The church is one of the area's first community buildings and would have seen residents use it for voting during Abraham Lincoln's presidency.
