Regular services at Old St. Anne's Church ceased in 1872 when the new church was built. Old St. Anne's Church was restored to its original form beginning in 1952 and completed in 1955. The brick church is much like the old meeting houses with little exterior decoration. Along with wedding and funerals the old church is used for special services throughout the year.

The surrounding cemetery has stones dating to the 18th century with several ornate 19th century stones. The cemetery has more than 1,500 graves and continues as an active cemetery.

Both the old church and cemetery are well maintained.
