Holy Trinity Episcopal Church

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was founded in 1886 by a group of young English men who came to this area to plant citrus groves, and it opened in December 1888. Earlier services were held in a barn on nearby Lake Geneva, midway between Fruitland Park and Chetwynd, a town two miles north of here that no longer exists. Despite severe economic and population losses following the freezes of 1894-95, the church remained open, and in 1976 descendants of the founders were still active in the congregation. Its lych gate, rare in Florida, was added in 1889, and the building is an unspoiled example of carpenter gothic architecture. In 1975, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
