Inscription. Built in 1865, this church was an outgrowth of the Wesley Chapel, located a few miles to the south. In 1862 a group of residents felt the need for their own church and were sent their first pastor, the Rev. George D. Carmichael, in 1863. His annual salary was $450, plus a horse. Church members Mr. & Mrs. John J. Secor gave 8.5 acres on which to build the church. Ladentown was named after Michael Laden, who established a store and tavern in 1816 to serve the mountain residents as well as teamsters hauling between the Ramapo iron works and Haverstraw. The church has been placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
