The Mt. Moriah Church is a former Methodist Country Church built in 1892, replacing two former churches that were built on this site in 1846 and 1867. The church closed in 1958. It was acquired and completely restored in 1997 by the Douds Historic Preservation Assn., Inc. and has been the location for a number of weddings, funerals, and special services since that time.
