About this property

Young Memorial Church, also known as Brier Hill Congregational Church, is a historic Congregational church in the hamlet of Brier Hill in Morristown, St. Lawrence County, New York.

The church building housed a Congregational church until the 1950s. Subsequently, it was used by a Baptist congregation until 1985. As of 2010, it had not been used since the Baptist group left.
