Maplesville United Methodist Church is an excellent example of the one-room Gothic Revival style church buildings once built throughout the South. It was originally located on a three-acre site deeded on September 15, 1871, by Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Dansby to trustees W. A. D. Ramsey, G. W. Brand, and D. J. Waterworth for the benefit of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Methodist Cemetery now occupies that site. In 1888 the church was dismantled and moved to its present location to be more visible from the railroad. In Maplesville's early days, it served as a house of worship for all denominations and at times as a school.
