UNITED STATES - 02-08-2024: Old Stone Church, also known as Green Spring Church and Stone Church, is a historic Lutheran church located at White Hall, Frederick County, Virginia. It was built about 1820, and rebuilt in 1838 after a fire. It is a one-story, gable-roofed, cut stone church. Also on the property is a contributing cemetery with many headstones (425 total) dating from the early to mid-19th century (1827) and two stone gate pillars. It is the second oldest stone church surviving in Frederick County. In 1927, a group of sixty-nine descendants and local members of the community joined together to form the Old Stone Church Memorial Association. Their objectives were to maintain the building and the is believed to be one of the earliest preservation movements in Virginia. This Historical highway marker was placed on Route 671 in 1998 to remind residents and visitors of the significance of the Old Stone Church to the people who first moved into this area of the Shenandoah Valley and those who continue to reside here.(Photo By Douglas Graham)
