The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was founded in 1810 and constituted its first Synod here on October 5, 1813. Presbyterian minister Thomas Craighead organized the congregation in 1798. In 1828, the stone building was erected with walls 3 ft. thick, replacing the original meetinghouse. The historic cemetery, deeded to the church in 1799, is the final resting place of early settlers and founding members of the church. Among these are pioneer government surveyor William Montgomery and Revolutionary War soldiers Francis Catron (Ketring) and John McMurtry.
