Welcome to the small hamlet of Stone Church NY and the Stone Church Cemetery. In the early part of the 19th Century people began to move to this part of Genesee County from Connecticut. After getting their homes built and crops planted, they decided to organize a religious society. They met on Sundays in homes and barns, but finally in 1828 they made plans to erect the building that became known as Stone Church. In trust for the future, they committed their money, labor and time, when they probably had little of these to spare. Although it was officially called “The Second Congregational Society of LeRoy and Bergen”, it is suspected that everyone, from the first, called it “Stone Church”, as is the case today. The actual Stone Church is located about ¼ of a mile to the east of the cemetery, next to the Bergen Museum of Local History. Visitors to the church often ask: “If it’s called ‘Stone Church’ where are the stones?” The original building was made of stone blocks from Fort Hill, about 2 miles south of Stone Church, but in 1865 it was replaced with the wood frame structure now in use. It is believed that the original stones have long since been incorporated into the foundations of the older homes in the neighborhood.
