Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church
Membership having dwindled to a few dozen people, the congregation was dissolved November 5, 2017, and the church closed. The building was listed on the "Ten Most Endangered List" of Indiana Landmarks.
In 2019 a group of volunteers worked with the Whitewater Valley Presbytery, which owns the building, to begin the long process of preservation. The sanctuary is an ideal performance venue and the Steering Committee has arranged an ambitious schedule of performances of various genres, from classical to jazz to bluegrass. It is no longer listed on the "Ten Most Endangered List."
The Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church and Community Center, Inc. (d.b.a. The Reid Center) acquired this property in 2022.
