Mt. Calvary was one of the last meetinghouse-plan churches to be constructed in Page County. The gabled brick church, on a ridgetop overlooking Hawksbill Creek, is distinguished on the exterior by its fine brickwork, water table, and two double-leaf transomed doors. Inside the sanctuary, a gallery supported by Doric columns overlooks a dais with an arched reredos and an ornate Victorian-era pulpit. The Mt. Calvary congregation, from which at least five other Lutheran congregations in the county took their membership, predates the present church by a good eighty years, since a 1765 deed records the acquisition of three acres for the church. The previous church, a log building, at first served as a union church open to other denominations. A small cemetery with marble and limestone markers lies east of the church.
