Marker Text: ​ In 1887 the congregation of   Rose  Hill Methodist Church made plans to build a new sanctuary to replace the original frame one built in 1876. Special offerings  were taken, and this building was completed in 1888. The vernacular Gothic Sanctuary served as the principal place of worship for the congregation until 1968.  Features include arched windows and an arched transom over the front door. Due to storm damage, the steeple was rebuilt in 1962. (1982)

Marker Text: ​Pioneer German settlers of the Rose Hill area organized this fellowship in 1875. Originally known as Spring Creek Mission, it was established under the direction of the Rev. Friedrich Ries. The earliest services were held in the home of Friedrick Oeft at this site. He donated the land to the congregation and the first sanctuary was constructed here in 1876.  For over 100 years the Rose Hill United Methodist Church has played a significant role in the development of the community and in the preservation of the area's cultural heritage. (1987)
