VA-A31 Old Providence Church

Marker text: OLD PROVIDENCE CHURCH

Two and a half miles northwest, as early as 1748 a log meeting house stood there. In 1793 a stone church (still standing) was built. In 1859 it was succeeded by a brick church, which gave way to the present building in 1918. In the graveyard rest ancestors of Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the reaper, and fourteen Revolutionary soldiers.
