REDBONE METHODIST CHURCH

Founded in 1814, the Church was first called
Bethel but was nicknamed Redbone because of
squirrel bones unearthed here, reminders of
an Indian camp that was once on the site.
The present structure was built by slaves in
1854, and during the War Between the States it
was used as a Yankee hospital.  A fire gutted
the sanctuary in 1917 and it stood abandoned
until 1946 when it was restored by public
subscription.  It is the oldest Methodist Church
in Warren County.

Erected by the Warrenton 4-H Club 1975
