Scope and Content
The location at Route 302 and Thompson Ridge Road confirms that this is indeed the Hopewell Presbyterian Church in Thompson Ridge (Town of Crawford), Orange County, New York.
The confusion often arises because both this church and the one in Sackets Harbor share remarkably similar Gothic Revival traits: rubble stone construction, white wooden belfries, and lancet windows.
About Hopewell Presbyterian Church
