churchThis Methodist Church sits on the crest of Chestnut Ridge alongside Port Republic Road. It's at (or very near) the location where Stonewall Jackson made his headquarters on June 5, 1862. Ewell was also there with artillery batteries and four infantry regiments.

The present church is recorded as existing since 1875, when it opened its doors as Mt. Sinai Methodist Church.
