Montours Church, Robinson Township

Montours Presbyterian Church

The current building is only a century old, but the congregation of Montours Church—also spelled Montour’s or Montour, depending on where you look—was founded in 1778, and the adjoining cemetery is full of Revolutionary War veterans.

A bell cast in Cincinnati in 1888 sits beside the church; it probably came from the older building that the 1924 church replaced.
