Long Bottom United Methodist Church

The church "on the corner," that is, the United Methodist Church located at the junction of State Routes 124 and 248 in Long Bottom.
The original church was a small frame building located at the west entrance of the Sand Hill Cemetery and was an old church as long as the oldest residents can remember. At that time most of the village of Long Bottom was located along the riverbank up that way, but the flood of 1884 took away all of those houses. The road which extended along the river, was so badly damaged, that it was moved back to the foot of the hill and is now State Route 124.
During the flood of 1913, the church building was so badly damaged, new windows had to be put in and the building had to be replastered and papered. It was raised and a basement of concrete block was put under it, all at a cost of $2,100.00.
