Old Stone Church

The Old Stone Church, the oldest building dedicated to God’s service still standing in Rockland County, New York, was erected in 1813 by a newly organized society of the Methodist Episcopal Church formed in Upper Nyack. The church lot was granted on February 18th 1813 to the first Board of Trustees, consisting of William Palmer, John Green, James Palmer, Nicholas Williamson, and Garret Onderdonk. At the first meeting, it was resolved, “That we begin to build the church tomorrow morning.” The completed edifice was dedicated March 2nd 1814. For many years this meeting house was devoted to the “preaching of the word” at a Unitarian Sunday School for the religious training of youth.
