First Presbyterian Church
Founded in 1780 under the trees at
the Big Spring by the Rev. Samuel
Doak, it was originally called Mount
Bethel Presbyterian Church. The
first settled pastor was the Rev.
Hezekiah Balch in 1783. Fifteen
years later the name was changed
to Harmony Church. The present
building dates from 1848 and was
restored after a disastrous fire
in 1928.
