Donegal Presbyterian Church Complex

Donegal Presbyterian Church Complex is a stone church building in East Donegal Township with a gambrel roof and traditional architectural layout set on 7.5 acres of grounds. The property includes the William Kerr Study House and an educational wing built in 1958 for religious instruction and community use.

The church was built in 1732 and represents one of the region's oldest Presbyterian establishments. It received National Register of Historic Places listing in 1985, recognizing more than 250 years of continuous religious use and community presence.

The cemetery with its stone wall holds graves of pioneering families and local leaders who shaped the region's religious character. Walking through it, you sense the deep connection between this congregation and centuries of faith in the community.

The site is accessible for walking through the grounds and cemetery, which spread across the 7.5-acre property. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since exploring the main church building, ancillary structures, and burial grounds requires moving between different areas on foot.

A memorial marker marks where the original Witness Tree once stood, beneath which congregation members swore an oath to the American cause in 1777. This tree witnessed an important moment in local history that showed the connection between faith and nation.
