Church

The Emmet, Arkansas, First Methodist Church, Nevada County, Arkansas, was founded about 1855 as part of the Moscow Circuit of the Methodist Church, South. It was originally known as Bethel Church and the congregation met in a log structure that also served as a schoolhouse. This continued until about 1880, when minister, Thomas J. Sage, led an effort to construct a church building. New church buildings were constructed in 1891 and in 1917. The 1917 church building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.

Fellowship Hall

In 1948, the congregation moved a white frame building alongside the church to serve as its fellowship hall. The building had been used during World War II as "Hospital Building No. 325" at the United States Army's Southwestern Proving Ground, which was located in Hempstead County, just north of Hope. The building was originally designed by the firm of Howard, Needles, Tammen & Bergendoff and it was constructed by the 'Callahan Construction Company' in 1941.
