St. Paul Episcopal Church Ownership Transfers to Hicksville Historical Society

Submitted by: Caroline Longardner

The Hicksville Historical Society now fully owns and maintains the beautiful St. Paul’s Episcopal Church built in 1873.

The goal is to build the volunteer base of those interested in preserving and sharing this Hicksville history.

St. Paul’s Church is opened the first Wednesday of each month from 3:00-5:00 p.m., July – September. Former church member Caroline Longardner has volunteered to host at those times at the church. She was a member and organist in the 1960’s.

There has been several events at the church; however, not all were recorded, as the record book has been misplaced. If you can help with this, please call the land office, Susan Mack at 419-769-0108.

This beautiful church is now owned by the Hicksville Historical Society. Please stop by and enjoy its antiquity. Several Historical handouts will be available and a tour of the church.

Next opening will be Wednesday, August 7 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. Located across from the Hicksville Library on West High Street. 

A.P. Edgerton donated the full cost of building the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, which is now Hicksville’s oldest religious landmark. The church, dedicated to his wife, was completed in 1873.
