Old Saint Luke's Church

Old Saint Luke's Church is the oldest Episcopal church in southwestern Pennsylvania, founded after the French and Indian War by veteran Major William Lea on his land grant. Francis Reno was the first vicar. Church members included General John Neville, the unpopular tax collector in the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion that disrupted the area and unsettled the congregation. Renewed interest in 1852 led to this stone church, with its 1823 English pipe organ, the first brought over the Alleghenies.
