— Est. 1834 —
Built in 1834 as the Putnamville Presbyterian Church, the brick structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and sits at the intersection of SR 243 and US Hwy 40, also known as the old National Road. It has been used continuously as a church since that time. The site was donated by James Townsend, owner of the Townsend Inn. The bricks were made locally and the foundation stones, the large stone steps, and the broad stones with the ripple marks, which once made the walk in front, were the well-known Putnamville Limestone from the quarries west of town. D.L. Mayle planted the hard maple trees that line the area next to Highway 40 north of the church. The first ministers were Jeremiah Hill, Samuel G. Lowery, James H. Shields, and William W. Woods.HM Number | HM125Z |
