A historical marker outside the church indicates that land was deeded to both the Methodists and Presbyterians in May 1857 and a rivalry began to see who would construct their church first. The Presbyterians won, finishing in November, a month earlier than the Methodists. That original church was sold and moved in 1874...and used as an opera house. Lincoln had spoken at that Church.
