History and architectural features

This historic church building is one of five properties owned by The Waynesboro Historical Society and is available for weddings, funerals and special events. Built in 1892, it is a 1+1⁄2-story, three-bay-by-five-bay, brick Late Gothic Revival-style building, which features a steep, slate covered gable roof, brick buttresses, and lancet stained glass windows.

The building replaced an earlier church that was built in 1846 by George Harbaugh on farmland he owned. ^[2]

The property includes the church cemetery, which was established circa 1845. ^[3] Regular services were held in the current building until 1966. It was acquired by the historical society in 1983. ^[2]
