On May 11, 1766, Nicholas Minor, a founder of the new town of Leesburg, deeded a half acre of property to Robert Hamilton, a Methodist convert, for ″four pounds current money of Virginia, for no other use but for a church or meeting house and grave yard.″ The site is the earliest known Methodist-owned church site in America.

The mixed-race congregation split in the late 1840s over the issue of slavery, and a legal battle began for control over the building.

In 1897 a Loudoun County court ordered the property to be sold and the proceeds to be divided between the two congregations.

The site was purchased in 1961 by the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Church as a historic landmark.
