Old Scots' marks the burial of the first Presbyterian church in North America (known then as "Free Hill" in 1692 and marks the place it was originally located in a log cabin.  The site holds approximately 100+ graves.  There is a commemoration to Rev. John Boyd, (which was created by the famous J&R Lamb Company) on the site.  His original tombstone is now at the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia. John Boyd was the first ordained Presbyterian minister in America.  Old Tennent Church Cemetery maintains the property .
