Johnstonville Methodist Church

Diamond Mountain Creamery, Johnstonville, 1897. To the far right, the church is visible.

The Methodist Church at Johnstonville has been a challenge to research. Recently, I came across a transcribed letter dated January 19, 1961 that Ada Hart wrote to Gladys Bass that primarily focused on the history of the Baptist Church at Johnstonville. Thankfully, Ada briefly wrote about the nearby Methodist Church. She wrote that it was built in 1889, along the Susan River, east of the bridge on property owned by Peter Scholl. Ada recalled attending the church there, and that the Susanville pastor was in charge of the services that were held at three in the afternoon. How long it remained in operation and what became of the church, I do not know.

  1. Hi my name is Rick Collins. In 2009 I purchased address 707-990 E HWY 395 in Johnstonville. I believe it is what’s left of the Levitt dairy. Would you know any information about it? Would love to hear about it!
