As part of the "Sacred Sites Open House" the community is welcome to tour our historic building. We are partnering with the Cortland County Historical Society at 10:00 am for a presentation on Cortland's role in the Underground Railroad. All are welcome.
The Unitarian Universalist Church in Cortland, New York (also known as “The Old Cobblestone Church”) was built in 1837 as a Universalist Church. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
It has cobblestone walls and granite quoins. In 1895, a large arch was cut in the east cobblestone wall and a Morey and Barnes organ was set in the arch. This historic organ is one of only two such historic organs remaining. It is nationally recognized by the American Organ Historical Society for its superb sound and nearly original condition.
The building was documented by Historic American Buildings Survey photographer Jack Boucher in 1966.
It is one of only 21 surviving cobblestone religious buildings in New York State. It is also the oldest public building still in use in Cortland, NY.
