Brick
Hold mouse here for more info!Although there are a few buildings associated with the Methodist Church in America which are older, they were not built as Methodist Churches. This is the oldest Methodist-built church, and has been called the “Cradle of Methodism” in America for many years. In addition to its fine architecture, its setting is quiet enough to allow one to imagine the peace and tranquility of the 18th century.

Old Christ Church

Wood
Hold mouse here for more info!Apart from exterior repainting/restaining, this church retains its original appearance and character, as well as original materials: it’s been unchanged for 250 years. It has no electricity, and its unpainted pews and interior walls reflect that era beautifully. Its setting out in the country is not completely rural (farm machinery can be heard in season), but one can imagine stepping back in time fairly easily here. This design of this beautiful church is based directly on its parent church, Green Hill (Whitehaven, Wicomico Co., MD), though the original is a brick building.
