Oldest Protestant Church in the United States
The Chicago Record-Herald reports St. Luke’s Church in Smithfield Virginia as the nation’s oldest Protestant house of worship. Erected in 1632, it was restored in 1894 to its original form, an English Gothic structure with mullioned windows and a tall tower, used in public worship for over two centuries. The Jamestown church founded by Captain John Smith disappeared except for a brick ivy-covered tower.
