Patton Chapel Church 1866
Just after the War Between the States Robert Berry Patton gave seven acres of land, logs from his sawmill to build a church, school and cemetery. He served as the first pastor. Fire destroyed the church in 1908 and 1938. The school served the area until 1924. Many early settlers are buried here and the site is still in use. As a city landmark and after several names changes, it is now Hoover First United Methodist Church.
Marker is on Patton Chapel Road west of Montgomery Highway (U.S. 31), on the right when traveling west.
