Side 1

This is the first know site of Townville Presbyterian Church, founded in this 
area in 1803 as Nazareth on the Beaverdam Presbyterian Church.  The church held 
its services at members homes until 1849, when the congregation purchased a 
frame building and half-acre site here for $1.50.

Side 2

In 1877, the congregation built a new sanctuary in Townville, 2.5 miles west.  
The church was renamed Townville Presbyterian Church in 1885.  The cemetery 
includes the graves of many early church families.  In 2002, the Stevenson 
family donated this site to the Old Nazareth Cemetery Preservation Organization.
