First Presbyterian Church was organized in 1839 by Scotch-Irish settlers. Built in 1845, the sanctuary is the original church structure. According to local tradition, the church bell, cast in 1851 by the Andrew Mcneely and Sons Foundry of West Troy, New York, was used to alert the citizens of Louisville to the approach of Col. Benjamin Grierson’s Union cavalry raid on April 22, 1863. In 1973, First Presbyterian Church became a charter member of the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA).
