Before 1850 the Rev. Joseph P. Sneed (1804 - 1881), a Methodist circuit rider,
organized the congregation later known as Powers Chapel. Luke Powers and John
Cullines donated this land for a log church house built in 1855. It served as a
community center and school until a two-story building, with a Masonic lodge
upstairs, replaced it in 1870. This structure was completed in 1890. Acreage
from other land gifts provided for the cemetery and the tabernacle which took
the place of an early brush arbor. Revivals and Memorial Day services are still
held here.
