St. Peter's Church was a Lutheran congregation founded in 1752 by Henry Melchior Muhlenberg. From the steeple of the original church on May 20, 1778, Gen. Lafayette gave orders for battle against the British in the old churchyard. Here he organized his famous retreat to Matson Ford, saving himself and 2200 Continental troops from capture.
