Presbyterian Church of Knowlton
Knowlton Township, Warren County

Knowlton was settled by German immigrants sometime around the Revolution (c.1775); there is a record that a Presbyterian minister from New York organized a congregation in 1776. The first congregation, comprised of a handful of Presbyterians, Anglicans and German Reformed (Calvinist) families, built a union church in 1802 or 1803. That was replaced by this almost square frame building in 1844. Except for the Gothic windows, it might be mistaken for a school house.
     About 1870, part of the congregation living closer to the Delaware River formed a daughter church at Delaware Station and built a larger, more elaborate Gothic Revival building.
