First United Methodist Church of Pittsburg
The charter members of this church, organized in 1857 by the Rev. J.W. Harvey Hamill, included Major and Mrs. W.H. Pitts and others in the Pitts family, for whom this town was named. The congregation worshipped first in a log structure, then shared a 2-story frame building with the Masonic Lodge. A larger frame sanctuary was erected in 1888-89. It was replaced by the brick prairie style church, constructed (1904-05) during the pastorate of the Rev. E.L. Shettles. In 1953 the educational wing was added. In 1957, the fellowship’s centennial year, membership was 546. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark – 1976 – Historical Marker #9796
