Shiloh Methodist Church grew out of the earliest known Methodist place of worship in this community and has had a church building on this site for over 125 years. Services originally began in a brush arbor about a mile west of here, started by a local hermit who lived by a spring. A short time later a church was built on this site. In Sept. 1825, after the church was completed, two plots of land were deeded to the four commissioners of the Methodist meetinghouse, one from Waters Briscoe that included the hermit's spring and the other from Green Dozier that included the site of Shiloh Church. The present church building was erected in 1859.
