Description
The Presbyterian Church in Honesdale, Pennsylvania is considered the pioneer church of the town. It was organized by the first settlers which included in its membership and congregation "nearly every man of prominence", that resided in Honesdale and who was connected with the Delaware & Hudson Canal
Company during the seventy years of its existence. Membership, as written in History of the First Presbyterian society of Honesdale, by Stocker, Rhamanthus Menville, 1848, also included a large percentage of the lawyers, doctors, editors, bankers, merchants, also mechanics, artisans, workingmen and enterprising citizens. The history is a great read. I took the liberty of removing modern day wires from this image, offering this view of the building almost as it appears in the book. Honesdale is located just outside of Hawley, PA and is located in the Pocono Mountains. This area has been described as a "great escape" for New Yorkers.
