United Methodist Church of Lott

Lott, Falls County

Marker Text

This church was organized in January 1890, the same year Lott was incorporated as a town. The first meetings were held in the Masonic lodge building under the direction of the Rev. R. V. Hocutt. Trustees of the church purchased land at this location in 1892 from the Texas Town Site Company. The first sanctuary here was destroyed by a storm before it was completed, and was replaced by the original section of the present building in 1895. Known earlier as Lott Methodist Church, South, and Grace Methodist, the congregation was renamed.
