Boydton Presbyterian Meeting House was built around 1820 on land owned by Alexander Boyd, Jr. of Boydton. In 1824, the church property was deeded to the church elders for the sum of one dollar. Local Presbyterians have shared this house of worship with the Methodists, Baptists and Episcopalians in times of need.
The local chapter of the Colonial Dames have placed a historic marker at the church. The Presbyterian Cemetery surrounds the church on three sides and contain many old graves.
The church is maintained as a historic site. This is the oldest standing church in the city. It appears that the congregation here became inactive about 1967.
