Standing here in front of Scott’s Methodist Church, it’s hard to imagine that this grand structure began as a humble Friends Meeting House. It was donated to its founders in 1869. The Friends, who were known for their peaceful nature, eventually moved on to Easton. The building, however, became a haven for the United Methodist denomination. It was Scott’s Church that placed a special emphasis on gospel music. This emphasized the vital role music played in the nearly African-American community.
