VA-E71 Lewis Chapel Cranford Memorial Methodist Church

Marker text: LEWIS CHAPEL / CRANFORD MEMORIAL METHODIST CHURCH

This church is a combination of several structures built on the site of the first Pohick Church (1730-1774), making this one of the earliest sites of a religious institution in Fairfax County. Lewis Chapel, named after a Methodist circuit rider, was built in 1857 and moved from a site nearby in 1952. Cranford Memorial, the main portion of the complex, was constructed in 1900.
