Inscription.
Built 1880, by people of Swedenberg, Lutheran, Methodist and Brethren Faiths near Peachblossom Creek and used by each denomination every fourth Sunday. The building originally known as Peachblossom Meetinghouse, was so named because the first peach trees in Maryland were planted near this site. Now known as Little Round Top Church, it is owned solely by the Church of the Brethren.
