Now a private home, this first Methodist Church was built in 1834. During the Civil War, occupying troops were invited to attend the services as women sat on one side of the church and the men sat on the other. The carpenter who built the church later became a Baptist minister. This building served as the Methodist church until 1901. It is believed that the second floor door once led out to a large veranda. The building once boasted a beautiful steeple and stately front columns. The only know picture is on display at the Historical Commission.
