First Church of Hanover
First Church of Hanover, Presbyterian church in East Hanover, New Jersey.
The First Church of Hanover features a belfry constructed according to architectural plans connected to Christopher Wren's design principles.
The church building, completed in 1835, incorporated timbers from an earlier structure that served as a hospital during the Revolutionary War.
The cemetery contains graves of 52 military personnel, including 38 Revolutionary War soldiers, documenting the community's military service across generations.
Located on Mount Pleasant Avenue, the church maintains regular services while preserving historical documents and artifacts from the colonial period.
The church's oak timbers still display marks from its previous function as a medical facility during the smallpox epidemic of 1777.
