Smyrna Methodist Church
Organized in 1785 or 86 by two Presbyterian ministers, Rev. John Newton & Rev. John Simpson. First house of worship erected in 1793 on land given by Sir John Talbot. In 1820 Presbyterian membership transferred to Washington and offered Smyrna to the Methodists. Regular church services have been held on this site without interruption since 1793.
Marker is at the intersection of South Smyrna Church Road and Lincolnton Road (U.S. 378), on the right when traveling east on South Smyrna Church Road.
