Mohawk, N.Y. — When asked to speak about the history of Fort Herkimer
Church, Donald Fenner said he decided to clear up some misinformation
people may have about it.

One thing, he said, is the idea that the church is the second oldest
in the state.

“[It may be the oldest] in the Mohawk Valley. That’s probably true.
But the second oldest in the state, that’s not quite true,” he said
before listing several other churches that date before 1767, including
St. George’s Episcopal Church in Schenectady and Sleepy Hollow
Reformed Church in Tarrytown.
