The Vernon Center Green Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, as "a rare surviving example in central New York State of an eighteenth century New England type village green." The protected district includes the Victorian Gazebo erected in 1901, the Green itself, the Parkside United Methodist Church and parsonage, and the former Vernon Center Presbyterian Church, recently restored and reopened as a community venue called This Old Church.[4]
The first religious sermon in Vernon Center was given outdoors in the fall of 1799 by Rev. Samuel Kirkland, missionary to the Oneidas, and founder of what became Hamilton College.[5]
