SHERMAN CITY UNION CHURCH
The Union Church is the most visible surviving remnant of Sherman City. William L. Shupe built the church in 1885 as a meeting hall for the Grand Army of the Republic Post 77. Moved to the present site in 1898, the building was renovated over the next few years to serve as a union church for all denominations. By October 1904 the building was in use as a church. Sherman City's Union Sunday School met here, and from time to time ministers of nearby congregations also held services in the church. Abandoned by about 1960, the church was restored in 1977 through the work of volunteers. Rededicated on May 28, 1978, the church is now maintained by the Sherman City Union Church Restoration Association.
