Old Stone Church Site
OLD STONE CHURCH SITE
One block north on Cornwall Street is the site
of the first Methodist-owned property in America.
Lot 50 was deeded to the Methodist Society in
Leesburg on May 11, 1766. In 1778, the Sixth
American Conference of Methodists met there,
the first such gathering in Virginia. At least
two church buildings occupied the site before
1902, when the "Old Stone Church" was demol-
ished. The churchyard is maintained as a national
historic shrine of the United Methodist Church.
