The Original Lutheran Church in Winchester

In Mt. Hebron Cemetery, Winchester, VA

Inspired Sunday

Originally the cemetery surrounded the old Reformed Church. The cemetery has grown but the church is gone except for a wall that has been restored.

 There are several plaques. You can read the black one entitled Lutheran Pioneers on Historical Marker Database. It tells that the cornerstone was laid in 1764 and destroyed by fire in 1854.
The 2008 plaque tells us that "This 'Old Church Wall' of the original Lutheran church was stabilized and restored through the generosity of the members of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church and the citizens of Winchester, Frederick County, and Clarke County."
