Grove Presbyterian church

The Grove Presbyterian was called Mahoning Presbyterian Church and is the oldest religious organization in Danville. During its earliest days when Danville was part of what was the frontier in what was then known as "Mahoning Settlement. Originally services were held at Gen. Montgomery's dwelling house (later in the tour). The first church was built of logs about 1778.

While there was a brick church built previously, the one that now stands was built in 1875. Grove Presbyterian Church is built in the Gothic style with large stonework. It occupies the site of the old brick church on the Knoll, surrounded by large trees. The Grove church contains the largest organ in Danville, costing some three thousand dollars at the time.
