Historic narrative:
The Western Presbyterian Church split off from the East Palmyra Presbyterian Church in 1817. The congregation met in the Union Hall on Church Street until it burned. The current building was erected in 1832 on the four corners. It is the oldest of the four churches on the four corners.
