Providence Presbyterian Church

The wooden frame church measures 50 feet by 26 feet, featuring a two-story structure with three bays and traditional colonial architecture.

Samuel Davies served as the first minister of this 1747 church until 1759, when he left to become president of Princeton University.

The church represents early Presbyterian establishment in central Virginia, with architectural elements reflecting colonial religious practices and community gatherings.

Located northwest of Gum Spring off U.S. Route 250, the church stands on a 15-acre property that maintains regular religious services.

The structure remains one of the few surviving frame churches from colonial Virginia, featuring an original design that has persisted through centuries.
