Munnerlyn Chapel Methodist Church and Cemetery
Munnerlyn Chapel was the first church to be established in the Ida area. In 1877 pioneer Methodist began meeting in a small log building provided by the Munnerlyn family. Soon a temporary structure was built across the road from the present day cemetery. In 1901 a new building was erected which also served as the area school until 1909. The building served the congregation until 1935 when a new structure was built that served until the 1980's.
