Penns Neck Baptist Church

The brick church stands at the intersection of US Route 1 and Washington Road, featuring colonial architecture with Federal and Georgian elements.

Built in 1812 as Williamsborough Baptist Church, the structure received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in December 1989.

The congregation grew from home gatherings led by Reverend Peter Wilson in 1790 to thirty-seven members at the church dedication in 1812.

The building maintains its position as a religious center at a major road intersection, connecting Philadelphia and New York City transportation routes.

The church parsonage predates the main structure and served as a public house where historical records suggest George Washington stayed.
