Old Stone Church (Lewisburg, West Virginia)

Old Stone Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia.

History
The congregation formed in 1783 practicing in a log building until building two-story, rectangular limestone building in 1796. An addition was built in 1830, making the building 75 feet by 44 feet in size. It features an open cupola belfry. One of its earliest and most well-known reverends was John McElhenney who served the church for over sixty years starting in 1808. During the American Civil War, it served as a hospital for both Union and Confederate forces. The pews of the church were removed so that more cots for soldiers could be brought in. After the Union victory at the Battle of Lewisburg, a trench was built by the side of the church to bury the Confederate dead. After the war, the soldiers were reburied at the Confederate Cemetery at Lewisburg.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The related Stone Manse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
