INDIANTOWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Organized in 1757 with John James and Robert Wilson as founding elders. Burned by the British in 1780 as "a sedition shop." Rebuilt after the Revolution. Present building begun in 1830, remodelled in 1919. Maj. John James, Revolutionary hero, is buried in the churchyard.

Note: Interestingly, my spell checker did not like the way 'remodelled' was spelled. After researching the word at dictionary.com, it reports, ironically, that this is the British spelling of the word. Seems the Redcoats got the last laugh.
