MT. LEBANON METHODIST Church Cemetery
Located in the Church Yard on Highway between Dickson & Charlotte. In 1810, one mile northeast of the present location of this church, Smyrna Methodist Church was erected, built of logs, this was the first Methodist Church of Dickson County. This building served for 40 years, or until 1850, when W. S. Casalman gave 2 acres of land upon which a log church was erected. It also served as a school. At this time the name of the church was Smyrna to Mt. Lebanon. This log building served for 29 years when it was destroyed by fire. Soon after the fire, a committee was chosen, 2 August 1879, to erect another log building on the same site, which served until 1913. The cornerstone of the present MT. Lebanon Church was laid the first Sunday in October 1913. and in the recent years the church as been modernized. (From History of Methodist Churches and Institutions in Middle Tennessee, by Cullen T. Carter.)
