Historic Mentz Church

Historic Mentz Church in Montezuma NY.

The first Mentz Church in Montezuma was incorporated in 1825.

The local landmark was brought back to life by the Montezuma Historical Society in 2006. Today the structure of the church remains original even the pews are the originals. Through aid from The William G. Pomeroy Foundation, a historic marker now sits just outside the church and the cemetery entrance.

The small church is surrounded on three sides by more than 200 graves of the original settlers.
