A Traveler's Guide to the Heritage Landmarks of The United Methodist Church

A TRAVELER'S GUIDE TO THE HERITAGE LANDMARKS
OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

By action of the 2008 General Conference, there are currently forty-one Heritage Landmarks of The United Methodist Church. The Book of Discipline defines a Heritage Landmark as "a building, location, or structure specifically related to significant events, developments, or personalities in the overall history of The United Methodist Church or its antecedents."

The Heritage Landmarks of United Methodism remind us of those people and events that have shaped our history. They are tangible reminders of our heritage, and their preservation helps keep our denominational legacy alive. For further information about the forty Heritage Landmarks, or to learn how a place becomes so designated, please contact the General Secretary, General Commission on Archives and History, P.O. Box 127, Madison, NJ 07940.

Material in this guide may be copied by local churches, Heritage Landmarks, and other agencies of The United Methodist Church without further approval.
