Directions from Corhaven Graveyard to site 15:
The historically black Calvary Methodist Church and School congregation formed near 1870. The structures for a church and school were built in 1889. The congregation declined in its members, as did the local Mt. Jackson. African American population. The church ultimately merged with the Manor Memorial Methodist Church in New Market. Today, the site is a private home.
