Tuckahoe Meeting House – Privately owned
The meeting house was built in 1802 by members of the Society of Friends, who had been Nicholites, a sect that originated in Caroline County. The building was used as a house of worship and as a Friends School until 1897. The building was then rented by “Dunkards” for religious meetings for blind persons and as a school.

Webb-Fluharty Log Cabin
This rare dwelling built about 1852 by James H. Webb, a free black, probably survived because he salvaged ballast stones, left by vessels in the nearby river, and erected the cabin atop the stones. Webb lived in the small cabin with his wife and two children, whom he had purchased from a nearby slaveholder.

Williston Community Church
The Williston Community Church, built for the Congregationalists in about 1868, was most likely adapted from plans by Richard Upjohn, one of the most prominent architects of the mid-nineteenth century in America. The construction is called “board-and-batten” and is very similar to the construction style of the Williston Mill, one half mile south on Harmony Road. The style, popularized by Upjohn as a way of achieving a Gothic style without the expense of stonework, was known as “Carpenter Gothic.”
