Trinity Church

This United Methodist church grew out of Mt. Zion Methodist church, established about 1840 in Burke Hollow near the Tom Page house. Mt. Zion was destroyed in 1863 by Union soldiers who used its materials for a signal station on Daddy's Knob. Trinity church was organized in 1865, with most of its founders being former Confederate soldiers. On this site in 1869, a two-story brick building was completed, with a school and Masonic lodge above the church sanctuary. After damage by a tornado in 1897, the church was rebuilt on the same stone foundation with original handmade bricks, but the second floor was not rebuilt. In 1909, a tornado damaged the bell tower and the north and east walls.
