Hillsborough Presbyterian Church

The church stands on the site of a former Church of England structure where the Hillsborough Convention met from July 21, 1788, to August 2, 1788, in order to determine whether or not to ratify the Constitution.^[1][2] During the bicentennial celebration of the writing and ratification of the Constitution, a historical marker was placed at the church to commemorate the convention.^[1]

The current church, built circa 1816, is the oldest Presbyterian church building in North Carolina that has continuously held religious services.^[2]

The Hillsborough Old Town Cemetery is located behind the church.^[3] Notable burials in the cemetery include Archibald Murphey, William Alexander Graham, Susannah Washington Graham, William Hooper, and Frederick Nash.^[2]
