The Methodist Episcopal Church established a congregation in 1866, and services were held in area schoolhouses until a frame building was constructed for a church in 1880. It was dedicated in January 1881. A cemetery was located across the road. Some of the graves predate the church and were moved from other cemeteries. As the congregation expanded the building was remodeled and a tower with a new entrance on the southeast corner, and an alcove on the north side were added.
