St. Thomas Episcopal Church is a historic church in Alexandria Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey near Pittstown and is one of the oldest churches in the county. The present church replaced a log or frame church that was built as early as the 1720s. That church was replaced in 1768 by the present church's stone walls, though the church was not completed until after the American Revolution, c. 1790. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 21, 1977 for its significance in architecture and religion.[3]
