History and architectural features

The Parkhurst Memorial Presbyterian Church of Elkland, Pennsylvania received its name from the Parkhurst family of the same borough. The church was built as a memorial to Joel Parkhurst who was a leading citizen of Elkland, having established a number of businesses there in 1828 that grew to such large proportion as to make him the leading merchant of the valley. His philanthropy and civic responsibility earned him the respect of the citizens of Elkland who mourned his passing at age 84 December 6, 1884. His three living children, Anna Pattison, Susan Grier and Benjamin Parkhurst agreed that the most fitting memorial to Joel's faith and good works would be the construction of a church and to this end approached architect Otis Dockstader of the Elmira firm of Pierce & Dockstader, to design and construct a church on the original site of the various edifices that had served the Presbyterian community of worshipers. The church was built and dedicated in 1890 as the Parkhurst Memorial Presbyterian Church.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
