Trinity Episcopal Church’s first building, a frame structure built in 1857, was burned by Federal troops during their occupation of Demopolis. The present church building was erected in 1870 and forms the nave. The transepts were added in 1896 and the bell tower in 1910. While camped in Demopolis, the Rt. Reverend Leonidas Polk, Bishop of Louisiana and Lieut General of the Confederate Army, often worshipped at Trinity.
