Claysville United Methodist Church

Congregation was organized in 1849. The church, constructed in 1850 of lumber produced on a water-powered sawmill and furnished with seats of chestnut, hand finished, is in an excellent state of preservation. It was first used as a combined church, school and community building. During the Civil War both Union and Confederate troops held services here, the time depending on who temporarily controlled the valley.

Marker is at the intersection of U.S. 50 and West Virginia Route 93, on the right when traveling west on U.S. 50.
