Information

The wood frame church in the first photograph was built at this location in 1871, but it had burned in 1932.

The other photograph is of the brick building built in 1932. It was constructed in a Gothic Revival style. The Methodist first built a church on Henryville-Blue Lick Road next to Mt. Zion Cemetery, which was used until the 1860s. They then began meeting in town at the original Presbyterian Church, which was located next to Wolf Creek until the wood frame Methodist Church was built.

According to Vivian Coomes Wright, there had been a large sign placed on the boundry line between the church and the saloon which read, "Drink, Drive and Die" . The sign was most likely placed by the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
