History

St. Barnabas Church was built in the Gothic Revival style in 1869 and was called Grace Church until 1881 when the name was changed. Local craftsmen built the church in blue-gray limestone. It served as a parish church until 1960 when it was closed. The Montrose Township Historical Society was formed in 1981 and began to restore the building. In addition to serving as a wedding chapel, the facility hosts annual Memorial Day and Christmas programs.[2]
