The First Presbyterian Church, Wapakoneta Women's Club and now the Auglaize County Historical Society-Wapakoneta Style
The Auglaize County Historical Society's Wapakoneta Museum is housed in the former First Presbyterian Church. Constructed in 1861-1862, the building is architecturally significant as the only example of the distyle in antis mode of the Greek Revival architecture in an eight-county area of west-central Ohio (so named because of the placement of paired columns within the recessed front entrance). The Germans who settled much of the area disdained Greek Revival architecture, preferring Gothic Revival instead. The first Presbyterian Church of Wapakoneta was rocked by financial scandal causing the membership to fall and the church dissolved in 1930---we just don't learn from our mistakes, do we.The church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
