Pollard Methodist Church is a pre Civil War structure and the oldest church building remaining in Escambia County, Alabama. Methodists were in this area as early as 1830, and in the church's early days it was served by circuit riders; in 1869 Robert F. Mountain was pastor. Confederate veterans related that mules and horses were sheltered inside during harsh winter months. The church bell was a gift from a riverboat captain named Kelley in gratitude for the aid church members gave his crew and passengers when his vessel wrecked and burned on the nearby Conecuh River. In 1984, Pollard hosted the Methodist bicentennial celebration for Brewton, East Brewton, Cedar Hill, Zion AME, Flomaton, and Century, Florida.
