Calvary United Methodist Church in Shady Dale

The church was originally founded in the early 1800's and a church was built a couple of miles south at a place called Wynn's Crossing. But a small community known as Shady Dale was growing fast and on the stage coach line. So, in 1857 the church was re-constituted in Shady Dale and land was purchased and the current structure was built in 1859. The church survived the Civil War with little damage and remains in it's original form.
