This church and cemetery have served the citizens of this area continuously since the 1840s. Originally named Methodist Episcopal Church South, it stands on land donated by William L. Howard and was built by L. E. Edmondson and a Creole helper, Isaac Alexander, who handmade the pegs used in the framework. The oldest marked grave dates to 1847. The building still contains the slave gallery, a silver-dollar-lined bell, the original pews, and the original chandelier converted to electricity, and many generations have knelt in prayer here.
