The Old Stone Presbyterian Church was built in 1796 out of native limestone in Lewisburg West Virginia. It is the oldest church still in continuous use west of the Allegheny Mountains. There was a period in 1864 when it served as a hospital for both the Union and Confederate armies. The cemetery that surrounds the church was the first west of the mountains and continues to be used today. It is listed on the National Register of Historical Places in West Virginia. There is a polished stone above the entrance engraved by one of the earlier members that states “This building was erected in the year 1796 at the expense of a few of the first inhabitants of this land to commemorate their affection and esteem for the gospel of Jesus Christ reader if you are inclined to applaud their virtues give God the glory.” |
