5 - METHODIST CHURCH
This church was organized in the 1820s with services held in a log building until 1902. The Methodists were not as numerous as the dominant Baptists here, and often depended on a circuit riding preacher. Another church, Hopewell Methodist, is marked only by a cemetery today.
This structure and its furnishings were reportedly the work of one man. J. D. McCampbell, a blacksmith and carpenter, built it in 115 days of $115. Afterward, he became its preacher for many years.
Ladies and children entered through the left door, and men through the right one. A divider separated the two groups, causing frustration among courting couples.
