Limestone County High School, serving grades 9-12, was established in 1912 with nearly $10,000 raised from the sale of property of an old Elkmont Elementary School, state funds, and private donations. Elkmont citizens were proud to have the first county high school and were saddened when a tornado damaged its top story in 1937, after which the school was remodeled. The Elkmont Methodist Church opened in 1884, and its original structure could be seen from School House Hill; a new church was built in 1936 with its entrance changed to face Children Street. A view of Elkmont from School House Hill by Cora Evans, circa 1910, captured scenes that later changed while local pride in family, school, and church remained the same. The Delmore Brothers, Rabon and Alton, were credited by The Country Music Hall of Fame as perhaps the most musically sophisticated, most creative, and most technically proficient of all duo acts. The Hyde House, built circa 1830 one mile north of downtown Elkmont, was the home of Dr. Merritt Monroe and his wife, Elizabeth Marie Church Hyde; it served as a hospital during the Civil War and was also remembered for legends of faith healing and extrasensory wisdom performed by Dr. Hyde from the 1870's through 1920. Elkmont Elementary, built on Smithfield Road in 1937 by Elkmont citizens, accommodated 115 pupils and remained active until the late 1960s. One mile south of downtown, the site of the Battle of Sulphur Creek Trestle lies on the Rails to Trails path, where the pictured structure replaced the original wooden trestle destroyed during the Civil War. First Baptist Church, built in the early 1900s on the old route of Highway 127, still stands although the congregation moved to a new building on McWilliams Street. Powers Hospital on Upper Fort Hampton Road still stands as a reminder of Elkmont's more flourishing downtown days, when the town was served by doctors Joe Maples, Will Maples, C.V. May hall, A.D. Powers, and Joe Whitfield. The Elk Theater opened on a Saturday in the fall of 1948 and burned in February 1950.
