Ebenezer Meeting House

First Methodist Episcopal Church in Beltsville, Maryland

In 1863, trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church puchased one acre of land at this location from Evan Shaw, a Plantation Owner, at a cost of ten dollars.

Ebenezer Meeting House was built on this location and was in use until about 1861. A cemetery was located near the log meeting house. Several gravesites still remain.

Marker is at the intersection of Old Gunpowder Road and Powdermill Road (Maryland Route 212), on the right when traveling north on Old Gunpowder Road.
