See one of our nation's only surviving original Gothic buildings when you visit Historic St. Luke's Church in nearby Smithfield. This architectural attraction is something truly remarkable to behold, as it is the oldest Church of England foundation in America. Commonly referred to as “Old Brick,” it dates back to 1632. In 1953, the non-profit group St. Luke's Restoration was founded and played a vital road in the church’s maintenance and upkeep.
