Information

306 South Main Street - Circa 1922, the original church was built in 1837 on land donated by John Fredrick Kerner, son of Joseph Kerner. In 1837, the building was sold to St. Paul United Methodist Church and moved. A second building was built in 1874-75 and used by the congregation until the early 1920's. This Neoclassical-styled sanctuary was built around 1922. The two-story brick building has a front gabled roof which extends to create a pediment portico supported by four large Ionic columns. The new sanctuary and support building was completed in 1995. The graveyard behind the church includes graves that date back to the 1850's.
