2021- Historic Ancestors Walk- A Guided Walking Tour of the Cold Spring Church and Cemetery

September 4, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Our 2021 inaugural Ancestors Walk starts at 10:00 AM on Saturdays. Dates are below.

Marge Wetherill and Bob Lambert will be your guides.  Fantastic stories from the past three hundred years will inspire and inform you!

This Summer, after a long pandemic-caused hiatus, we will be re-launching our highly anticipated Historic Ancestors Walk—A Guided Walking Tour of the Cold Spring Presbyterian Church and Cemetery! The entire community is invited to step into history by experiencing one of our informative and engaging walking tours of the historic church and surrounding cemetery. Like all our events, this is a “Come as you are” activity for the entire family. No reservations are required.

Our volunteer docents and guides, often dressing in period costumes, will share inspiring stories of interesting individuals whose remains are contained in our sacred space. Our oldest gravestone is dated 1742. Our Red Brick Church is a national historic landmark with a compelling story of its own to enjoy!
Please see Elaine Jordan if you’d like to learn more, or if you’d like to be a tour guide! A schedule for our Summer and Fall tours will be posted soon!

Our thriving worshipping community of faith is privileged to share our 200-acre campus with you. Thousands of stories are represented by those whose remains are entrusted to our care, and neighbors who started the church in 1714. We are delighted to recount the glory and triumphs, as well as the difficulties and tragedies, experienced by our earliest citizens. Cold Spring Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and has been continually serving the community for 305 years, and we’re just getting started!
