Old Methodist Church
The Old Methodist Church was one of the first in the Republic of Texas. In 1838, Isaac Strickland established a Methodist Congregation here under the direction of Elder Littleton Fowler of the Mississippi Methodist Conference. Strickland's assigned territory was all of the land between the Brazos and Trinity Rivers.
He made Montgomery his headquarters. Four early circuit riders are buried in the adjacent Old Montgomery Cemetery, site of the first sanctuary. Two more sanctuaries were built by the Montgomery United Methodist Church in 1852 and 1908 before moving to a new location in 2002.
Today, The Bells Of Montgomery is located at 309 Pond where The Old Methodist Church once was. It is presently used as a wedding chapel under current owners, Glenn and Shirley Schneider.
