Olivet Presbyterian Church and Cemetery
New Kent County, Virginia
Built in 1856, Olivet Presbyterian Church is on the National Register of Historic Places. Having no
electricity or other conveniences, the building today is still pretty much as it was originally. The
building and grounds are maintained by the Society for the Preservation of Olivet Church and
Cemetery. The church is used every year for a service on Christmas Eve and Homecoming on the third
Sunday in May. It is also used for weddings, baptisms and funerals. Some of the original cemetery is
closed because there are suspected, unidentified graves, and a new section has been opened on
adjacent land.
