Shady Grove Church

Shady Grove Methodist Church near Logan in Winston County Alabama. The church began as a brush arbor and featured log benches underneath for seating. The second church was made of hand-sawed logs, dirt floor and doubled as a school house for the area. In the late 1800s, Reverend D.C. Beltz, Architect, designed and built this beautiful gothic-style church with the help of volunteers in the community. Today it stands tall atop a hill overlooking farm country and the graves of Union and Confederate Soldiers.
