Blackburn Church History

Blackburn Church….In 1811, a Methodist Bible class began meeting at a home in future Sewickley Heights. In 1830, the group purchased an acre of land for a burial ground and church. The price was fifty cents. A log church was built in 1833, but was replaced twenty years later with a brick structure under the direction of Rev. William P. Blackburn. Following a lightning strike and fire c1890, the building was deemed unsafe and was rebuilt on the same foundation, using many of the original beams.
Blackburn, like other country churches, was once the social center of the surrounding farming community. Membership numbers and the church’s importance in the community gradually declined, however, as family farms were replaced with the country estates of wealthy industrialists whose social focus was the newly built country club. Despite its small numbers, Blackburn continues to provide a church home to area families, as it has for nearly 200 years.
The parking area opposite the church was once the location of the one-room Blackburn School that closed in 1950 when students were transferred to the Edgeworth School.
