THE STRAWBRIDGE SHRINE is the original home (circa 1760) of Robert & Elizabeth Strawbridge. It is in this modest farmhouse that Methodism in America was first established. From here, Robert Strawbridge rode the circuit and planted the seeds of what would become a new denomination.
This historic site is also home to: THE EVANS HOUSE, home of America's first recorded convert, and where the First Society met for more than 40 years. THE LOG MEETING HOUSE replica, built from logs dating to the 1760's, this structure is an authentic re-creation of the first Methodist house of worship in the new world. VISITORS CENTER, with displays, artifacts, video presentation, gift shop, and modern restrooms. CLICK HERE to learn about plans for new and expanded Visitors Center!
