1. The First Presbyterian Church of Granville.

The First Presbyterian Church of Granville is one of the oldest churches in Ohio. The founding settlers of Granville organized a church before they left Granville, Massachusetts, in 1805. They chose to move onward in search of something more, something better. Their first tasks on arrival were to build a meeting house and to find a minister.
