First Church was organized 13 September 1813, and built a brick church in 1826-27. This building was sold in 1838, as a result of the Old/New School split. A two story frame structure, erected by the New School congregation on the second site, was replaced in 1859 by the present brick building. The Old and New School congregations reunited in April, 1870. Rev. Daniel Rice, pastor 1842-55, was active on behalf of the acceptance of the state free public education law and served on the first Board of Education. Horace Mann lectured in the church in 1854. The movement for establishing the Presbyterian Homes of Ohio originated here in 1920.
