Regarding Mount Zion United Methodist Church. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Mount Zion United Methodist Church housesone of the oldest active congregations in Haywood County and is probably the oldest church building remaining in the county. With labor provided by members of the congregation, the brick structure was erected in 1883 near the site of a mid-nineteenth century log building, now lost, which served as the first church. The simple, sturdy, gable front building stands in an unspoiled mountain valley and survives as a rare western North Carolina example of a nineteenth century rural brick church. Though sustaining significant alterations both interior and exterior during three separate rehabilitation projects undertaken since 1950, the building's nineteenth-century brickwork and portions of its interior detailing survive.
