Information

KOREAN BAPTIST CHURCH, 210 N. Lynn St.: This church, formerly Waynesville Methodist Church, was built in 1945. However, the first Methodist church constructed on this site was completed in 1887. Organized before the Civil War, founder Wilson M. Tilley decided the settlers needed a church. Tilley rode on horseback in search of a preacher. Services were held at the Tilley’s farmhouse once a month by a Methodist circuit rider but were interrupted by both the Civil War and Tilley's death. Stories differ, but most agree that Tilley was hanged by bushwhackers.
