Description
"Scott's Church was organized in 1837 as a Methodist denomination , and four years later the first building was erected on road 600E in Bethel Township on a hill overlooking the rolling countryside . In 1865 , a second building was constructed nearby , and in 1896 , the present church was built there. The frame structure originally had a steeple , which was struck by lightening . It was then removed , and the bell was mounted on a frame in front of the church , as shown here. " "McDonough County Historic Sites " by John E . Hallwas , p . 102 .
