Old Methodist Cemetery and Old Methodist Church
A peaceful rural cemetery that could use a few more Geo-Visitors. Please be respectful as you explore—this is a place of rest and remembrance.
Take a few moments to wander and read some of the old headstones. There’s history here, written in stone and softened by time.
The cache is not located on any graves or gravestones, so no need to disturb the resting. You’ll need to bring your own pen to sign the log.
While you're here… did you see or hear any crows or ravens? They’re often nearby, watching from the trees.
BYOP. Be respectful. Cache quietly.
Congrats to ajlong for {FTF}.
The Old Methodist Church at Passekeag
The first church built in Passekeag was built on the first road over the hill, where the old burying ground is, in the year 1820. The first minister was Rev. William Tweedale, a school teacher, land surveyor and layman. He taught school one time in Titusville, at Burnt Corner. The church building was torn down and rebuilt in 1845. In 1882 a new Church building was built in Passekeag and was closed in 1961. This Church now resides in Japan, having been sold by the MacVey family when it was no longer in use. Every board, window, piece of trim, shingles etc. were numbered before dismantling and shipped.
