White Rock Church was built in 1868, probably by newly-freed black citizens.

The White Rock Church was built in 1868, barely four years after Maryland’s emancipation of her slaves. Its founding members were probably former slaves, to whom a church was a symbol of freedom and independence. The church’s cemetery contains members of black families that are still prominent in the Sykesville area.
