The Six Mile Run Reformed Church is in the Six Mile Run section of Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey.[3] It takes its name from Six Mile Run, a tributary of the Millstone River that flows through the area.[4]
History[]
The congregation met at the Church of the Three Mile Run, which was built in 1703.[5][6][3]
As the congregation grew, new churches were split off with a portion of the congregation. The Six Mile Run congregation emerged in 1710.[3][7]
In 1720, Reverend Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen became the permanent pastor. He was sent from Holland to take charge of the Dutch churches of Middlesex, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties.[3]
The first building on the present site was built in 1745.[3]
The first building was replaced by a new building in 1766 and was later replaced in 1817 by a third structure on the same site. The current building replaced the 1817 church that was destroyed by fire on January 7, 1879. Within a year the current building was erected and dedicated.[4]
The Frelinghuysen Memorial Chapel was added in 1907. Electricity was installed in 1926. In 1958 Fellowship Hall was dedicated and the Frelinghuysen Memorial Chapel was renovated.[3][8]
