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.
