St. James Methodist Church - Central City, CO - Methodist Churches on Waymarking.com

The plaque reads:

This church, one of the earliest in Colorado, was organized July 10-11, 1859, by two missionaries, Rev. William H. Goode and Rev. Jacob Adriance. Rev. George W. Fisher, a wagonmaker and lay preacher was the first resident Pastor. For a while, services were held in the home of "Aunt" Clara Brown, a former slave. This building was begun in 1864 during the pastorate of Rev. Bethuel T. Vincent, editor and publisher of the "Rocky Mountain Sunday School Casket," the first magazine in Colorado; but it was not completed and dedicated until 1872.
