Greenville Cumberland Presbyterian Church

Founded 1841

The original log church on Irish Street served until 1860 when the present structure was begun on land purchased from Andrew Johnson.

The War Between the States saw the church used as a hospital and stable.

The cannon ball in the front wall was fired there September 4, 1864 during the skirmish in which General John H. Morgan lost his life.

Marker is at the intersection of North Main Street (U.S. 321) and W Church Street on North Main Street.
