Camp Curtin Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church

Camp Curtin Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, also known as Curtin Heights Church and Camp Curtin Memorial-Mitchell United Methodist Church, is a historic Methodist Episcopal church located in Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 20

10. The Susquehanna Conference of the United Methodist Church announced plans, in December 2018, to consolidate or sell roughly 10 churches in the greater Harrisburg area. In February 2021, newspapers reported that Camp Curtin Memorial-Mitchell United Methodist Church would be sold "to a church off of the west coast that is buying it as a church for veterans," and that "a veterans' ministry" would be established at the historic church; however, the realtor involved in the transaction reported a month later that the church was "back on the market" because the deal had fallen through. News accounts at the time noted that the realtor's most recent listing stated that the "15,852-square-foot property [was] listed for $155K," and that the church was] zoned 'commercial neighborhood,' which provides the possibility of a number of uses for the property."
