caption_attribution_description: English: Paxtang Presbyterian Church in or near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from a pre-1923 postcard. The location may be in Paxton Township. Note that the claim on the card that this is the "Oldest Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania" is very questionable, but the church goes back to at least the 1750s. From RG 428, Postcard Collection, Presbyterian Historical Society, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
