First Blendon Presbyterian Church

On this site in 1829 the Presbyterians of Blendon Township built their first church. The land was donated by Timothy Lee for “church and burial” purposes. The Reverend Ebenezer Washburn, buried here, was the first minister. The church was destroyed one week after its dedication in an apparent act of arson.

Marker can be reached from the intersection of Dempsey Road and Hempstead Road.
