Experience the peace of Historic Polegreen Church, a beautiful open-air church. Feel the breeze and the sunlight welcome you as you enjoy the story of Rev. Samuel Davies and how he started Historic Polegreen Church, one of America's first non-Anglican churches. You'll feel his story come to life as you stand where he stood to preach sermons to members of his congregation, including Patrick Henry.
The Church lies just 15 minutes outside of Richmond, in Hanover County—a quaint, rural suburb. The Church site features a Visitor's Center tucked away in the woods and rolling, grassy, greens, perfecting for picnicking or simply just to enjoy the Church's viewshed.
Historic Polegreen Church is currently reviewing its Strategic Plan. As we continue to promote Samuel Davies, Patrick Henry, and the preservation of Historic Polegreen Church, please consider giving to the Annual Fund to help us reach our goals.

Beautiful and Inspiring! It’s simplistic nature gives you a grasp of worship, the Creator and His creation. Wonderful spot for a simple, small outdoor wedding.

Interesting Stop along the Civil War Trail. The location dates back to the revolutionary era and has deep roots in religious and political history.

Very unique historical location. Small site, but very interesting and well documented historical information. I learned some very interesting facts about the Polegreen Church and its role bringing religious freedom to Virginia. Also Patrick Henry's life and also his role at the church.
