Grove United Methodist Church is one of 10 sites in the 2023 Chester County Planning Commission's Town Tours and Village Walks and is slated to give tours on its campus at 490 West Boot Road, West Chester, on Thursday, July 27, from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

The tours will discuss the historic Grove Village, the grove of trees after which the area was named, the cemetery, and the series of church buildings, ending with the current 1888 sanctuary building and the modern additions in 1959, 1985, and 2009. The tours will include family-friendly activities and information about the current church activities as well as light refreshments.

Grove Church was founded in 1773, and its congregation has worshipped in the local area continuously since then. It is celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2023. For more information about monthly special services and other celebrations during this year, visit http://www.grovechurch.org.
