This was built in 1841 and dedicated in 1842. It looks little changed from that time. There is a rock in front with a plaque for first settler, John Albright, who donated the land for the church.

The present church building is an old structure, the main part having been erected in 1841, since which time it has been somewhat improved and repaired. It was dedicated in 1842. Rev. H. Hawley was the first pastor. The present membership is between sixty and seventy. The Rev. T. F. Harris came here from Woodstock in 1883 and assumed charge of the church; he is also superintendent of the Sabbath-school. The present trustees are Abram Grit'fith, Pardon Lyon, Levi Klock and Andrew Briggs."
