What makes this church truly unique is its building materials.The stone for the new building came from Hummelstowne, Pennsylvania; the roofing slate from Bangor, Maine; the art glass windows from Louisville, Kentucky; and the Estey organ from Brattleboro, Vermont. The bell, which has been calling the congregation to worship for almost a century, was presented to the congregation by Captain H. S. Davis, a famous riverboat captain. Cast in Louisville, it had been used on one of the most handsome steamboats plying the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. It was moved from the old building to the new church where it remains today.
The Hummelstowne is what has given the church the nickname "The Chocolate Church".
My parents and several family friends were married at this church and I think it is the most outstanding church in town.
