It was built in 1900 and was added to the National Register in 1979.[1] HistoryIn 1885, a sod church was built to accommodate the growing population of the area along Driftwood Creek.[2][3] Methodist minister M.H. Noe led the first worship services in the sod building the same year.[2] The current building stands across the road from the original sod church.[2] ConstructionBuilding the Stone Church which succeeded the sod church was a community endeavor, with most of the labor donated by parishioners.[2] Limestone was quarried from a local rock formation and hauled by wagon to the construction site, roughly {{convert|5|mi|km}} away.[2][3][4] Church members cut, hewed, and loaded the limestone by hand under the supervision of Jim Flynn and local stonemason James Lewellyn Hoyt.[2][3][4] Hoyt's sons, who at ages eight and ten were too small to load the stones, were tasked with placing dynamite charges to blast the limestone apart in the quarry.[2] The acre of land upon which the church was built was donated by Rebecca Hart.[2][3] The church's construction is impressive considering that, at the time of its construction, the majority of its parishioners still lived in unimproved sod houses and dugouts.[2] Construction on the church was finished in 1900 and dedicated as the St. Paul Methodist Protestant Church led by Reverend J.E. Darby.[3] Dedication to DisuseFour years later, the congregation of St. Paul Methodist Protestant Church merged with the local group of United Brethren in Christ in 1904.[3] In 1907, the church was formally reorganized as United Brethren.[3] Regular church services continued in the building until 1951.[2][3] The Stone Church was a cornerstone of the Driftwood Community until the 1950s.[2][3] The church was the home of the local Sunday school, an orchestra, and various local events.[2] In the early twentieth century, the Stone Church was also the polling place of the community.[2] RestorationAt a celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the church's construction, a committee was organized to restore the building.[2] Over the course of seventy-five years, the structure had been damaged in several ways.[2] Since the restoration process began, the roof has been replaced, the walls have been reinforced, and faulty electrical wiring has been removed.[2] The interior of the building has been restored to a similar state to its original construction.[2] The Stone Church has neither plumbing nor electricity due to the era of its construction and its remote location.[2] The building is not in regular use, but is maintained by the Stone Church Community Association as a memorial to the settlers who built it.[3] Annual gatherings are held at the Stone Church to commemorate and celebrate the church and its construction.[2] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 {{Cite news|url=https://www.mccookgazette.com/story/1216609.html|title=Memories long at the old Stone Church|date=2007-06-11|work=McCook Gazette|access-date=2018-10-21|language=en}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{Cite web|url=http://www.e-nebraskahistory.org/index.php?title=Nebraska_Historical_Marker:_Stone_Church|title=Nebraska Historical Marker: Stone Church - E Nebraska History|website=www.e-nebraskahistory.org|language=en|access-date=2018-10-21}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=79001446}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: St. Paul's Methodist Protestant Church / The Stone Church|author=Daniel Kidd|date=December 1978|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=April 14, 2017}} With {{NRHP url|id=79001446|photos=y|title=five photos}}.
