The OES visited the Concord United Methodist
Church on October 15, 2000. We knew right away that this church was still in
active use because of an up-to-date sign in front of it with the times of
worship and upcoming events. It was a Sunday when we visited, so we thought
there might be some people there and maybe be able to get some info on the
church and take some pictures of the inside. Unfortunately no one was there. But
from the evidence that was looked at, the church may date as far back as the
1840s-1850s. The foundation of the church was made of
limestone (a type of rock) which was common 1800s building material and oldest
burial in the adjacent cemetery was from 1849.
This gives a rough estimate of how old this church may be. We have since
returned to the church, finding it's name to be the Concord United Methodist
Church. We also took pictures of the old cemetery there. There are plans to return to the church while people are there
so we can gather more information. If you have any information about this
church, please feel free to email .
