Old Presbyterian Meeting House


On the way home from work tonight, Mr. BikeMan stumbled upon one of those great places that are everywhere here Where George Walked: the Old Presbyterian Meeting House Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary Soldier.


 The cemetery holds over 300 "inhabitants" and is smaller than our modest back yard.




The church is still very active, and has a membership of around 1,000. The congregation was founded in 1760. They called their first pastor in 1772, and the first meeting house built in 1775.

highly recommended!

If you love history as much I do, then you will want to watch the HBO miniseries, John Adams. Mr. BikeMan put this on our Netflix queue a month ago, and we just finished watching the six-episode series. It is apparently quite historically accurate (save a bit of dramatic embellishment). Watch it. You won't be disappointed.
