From Wikipedia:

Wesley Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church (Eldersburg, Maryland)

The Wesley Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church in Eldersburg, Maryland is a characteristic small church of the period (built ~1822), with uncoursed stone rubble construction and a simple plan. The interior is a single barrel-vaulted room. It was erected to serve one of the earliest Methodist congregations in Carroll County, and hence in the United States, as Carroll County was a birthplace of Methodism in America.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
