The roots of methodism in this community can be traced to the organization of a local society in the 1770s. Meetings were held in private homes before a frame structure was built here circa 1786 on land provided by Colonel Allen McLean. Revolutionary War hero and early advocate of methodism. On May 9th 1799 the meeting house and burial ground were formally conveyed to the church trustees for 5 shillings. The Philadelphia annual conference was held here on numerous occasions in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Francis Asbury and many other methodist pioneers were frequent visitors. Services were held here until 1845 when the congregation relocated to a new site.
