Hopewell Baptist Church is on West Broad Street. One of its most notable pastors was Oliver Hart (1723-95). Gravestones in the church cemetery include those of Isaac Eaton and John Hart, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Hart was not a member here, but he donated the land on which the building stands. Revolutionary War veterans lie buried here. The appearance of the Hopewell Baptist meetinghouse has not changed since 1822, when the congregation rebuilt it on its original foundation.
