A frame church was built on nigh
land looking down on tho little stream
and overlooking the valley through
which the creek winds its way from
the hills of Fairfax county, Virginia,
to the Potomac River. In that hrst
church of Pohick worshiped the
Masons, Of Gunston Hall; the FAR
faxes, Of Belvoir, the Washngtons' OF
Mt, Vernon, and many other fam
lilies.
There came a time when the con-
gresation OF the church was agitated
TO great extent concerning the re-
building of the house of worship The
church had been several times re-
paired, and the congregation became
split over the question of rebuilding
on the first site or the setting up OF
new building on another site. The
population of the parish had increased

SO Washington was one of those who
favored the removal TO another site.
He pointed out more central site,
ana then he prepared a map Of the
parish showing the location Of the
homes of members of the congregation
TO enforce his argument George
Mason was one of those who opposed
removal, but the members of the CON

Church in Alexandria, Virginia-was
begun in 1868, and in 1873 the con-

George Washington worshiped as boy

George Washington had a special
interest in the Pohick Church. He
travelled there with his family as a
boy, seated in the great family coach,
and he continued a member of the
congregation until his death. 1t was
