This historic church ceased to exist as an active congregation in 1995 and sat abandoned for seven years. Steve Head restored the church in 2002 and today he and group of trustees own the structure and maintain it, along with its cemetery.
Summertown United Methodist Church, 1881
Lovely photograph! I like the steeple and the simplicity of the building.
God bless Steve Head and his group of trustees!
i was christened in this church. my family is buried in the cemetery, including my grt, grt, grandfather who fought in the war between the states. the church is just as it was built. no restroom, no water. it no longer belongs to the methodist association.
Do you have information about Vesta Kirkland and her father Dr. Kirkland. There is a woman also Mrs Wallace Berry. The two women wrote about the history of Summertown. They mention my ancestors on a page that I have. I am seeking info about the book and my family the Williams.
