Commissioners Nate Silcox and Al Bienstock presented a citation to the Friends of Peace Church on the occasion of their 50th Anniversary.

The Peace Church — or “die Frieden Kirche” — was built in 1798 by a Reformed Congregation. The Church later became the home of a Lutheran Congregation. It served as the first home of Hampden Township when it was incorporated in 1855. In 1863, rebel troops were stationed at Peace Church during the “Skirmish at Sporting Hill” during the Civil War. In 1975, the Friends of Peach Church were founded. In 2024, Friends of Peace Church took ownership of the Church.

Today, the Historic Peace Church hosts a variety of public events, including historical reenactments, educational tours, lectures, and seasonal programs, which offer the community a chance to connect with local history and heritage.

Commissioner Silcox commended Friends of Peace Church for helping to preserve this important piece of Hampden’s history and states that he’s looking forward to their next 50 years!
