- Brookville Reformed Church
The Brookville Reformed Church, located in Brookville, New York, is one of the oldest existing church congregations in the United States. The Church was founded originally by 17th century Dutch settlers.
During September 2006 in the midst of celebrating the church's anniversary, its safe was opened to reveal records from 1732 indicating how the Dutch settled the area and formed the church.
