Buck Mountain Episcopal Church

Buck Mountain Episcopal Church is a historic church on VA 743, northwest of the junction with VA 633 in Earlysville, Virginia. It is a rare surviving example of the simple wooden Anglican parish churches scattered through Virginia in the colonial period, and is considered one of the finest surviving examples of rural Virginia Greek Revival churches.[1] One of three churches erected to serve Frederick Parish, the original building was completed in 1747. The church was moved to its present site (approximately one mile from its original location) in 1860.
