Mechanicsburg Baptist Church in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Built in 1890. The Methodist Episcopal Church congregation split in the early 1850s over the issue of slavery. The Methodist Protestant Church was formed at that time. The church they built in 1853 was demolished in 1890 for the construction of this church, which served the congregation until they reunited in 1939, with the United Methodist Church. It was then sold to the Mechanicsburg Baptist Church at that time. Architectural Style-Gothic Revival. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1985. GPS: 40.07122°N, -83.55760°W.
