New Plaques for our Church Building
157 years old
The Historical Society of the Town of Chester wanted to do a project recognizing the older buildings in the villages of Chestertown and Pottersville. As a result it was decided that plaques would be given to the owners of buildings built before 1900. A list was made of those buildings; the owners were notified; and plaques were ordered for those who wanted them. The plaques were then given to the building owners.
The cross and flames, symbols of the Methodist tradition, were given to our church.
Drive around The Town of Chester. How many plaques showing off the older buildings can you find?
