In February 1889 the Methodist Episcopal Church of New Lothrop was organized. Later that year the present sanctuary and belfry were built of timber cut from local farms. A 700-pound bell was donated by the H. P. Niles G.A.R. post in 1891 in honor of New Lothrop's Civil War veterans. In 1900 a portion of the former English Settlement Church was attached to the north side of this structure. Mergers in 1939 and 1968 resulted in the church being renamed First United Methodist Church.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
