Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church

The gray limestone church features a rectangular structure with a gable roof and decorative arcaded porch added in the late 1800s.

Constructed in 1756, the church supported Augusta Academy, which evolved into Liberty Hall Academy and later became Washington and Lee University.

The cemetery on church grounds contains tombstones dating back to 1773, documenting generations of local Presbyterian community members.

The church stands near the intersection of Routes 11 and 716, offering regular Sunday services and adult Bible study sessions.

John Houston, the great-grandfather of Texas pioneer Sam Houston, served as one of the early church leaders.
