The First Presbyterian Church, built in 1839 on lot 17 of the original city plat, is the oldest public building still in use in Robertson County. Its bell, also still in use, was given by the Cheatham family. A center partition once seated men on one side and ladies on the other. During Union occupation it was used as a stable, and hoofmarks remain visible on the old floor. The sanctuary was added in 1897 by Thomas Pepper in memory of his wife.
