This stone building was constructed about 1790. During the battle, the
church was under the charge of Reverend John R. Warner, who it was said,
"exposed himself to great dangers to witness the Battle of Gettysburg."
He later became a well-known guide to the famous battlefield.
Confederate troops from Maryland were hospitalized in this area
