The congregation moved to this site in 1829 and built a second church, also a frame building, in the 1830s. Mt. Zion's longest serving minister, Rev. William M. Reid, was the pastor here from 1833 to 1872./ (Reverse) The cemetery here dates from 1830, and the session house was built in 1851. A third frame church, built in 1855, burned in 1910.
