Pisgah United Methodist Church, Methodist church in Tallahassee, United States.
Pisgah United Methodist Church is a Greek Revival structure with three front doors and tall windows along its east and west sides. The building follows classical architectural principles with a symmetrical layout and sits on grounds that include an adjacent historic cemetery.
The church was established in 1830 and the current building dates from 1858, representing the third structure built on this site. It remains the oldest Methodist church in Leon County and marks a long-standing Methodist presence in the area.
The interior layout tells a story about social divisions in this community, with different seating areas that served different groups of people. Walking through the space today offers insight into how such divisions were physically built into the building itself.
The church stands north of Tallahassee, southeast of State Road 151 at the end of Pisgah Church Road. The cemetery lies on the same grounds, and several soldiers, including members of the Gramling family, are buried there.
The cemetery holds victims of the 1841 yellow fever epidemic, and several soldiers are buried there too, among them members of the Gramling family. Reverend Richardson, elected Captain of the Centerville Old Guard in 1863, served with other Leon County men in the Civil War.
