Biographical / Historical

Pipkin’s Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church South (East Baton Rouge Parish, La.) appears to have begun in the late 1850s. It was located on the Old Bayou Sara Road near the communities of Port Hudson and Zachary, Louisiana. Although in Louisiana, Pipkin’s Chapel, like most Methodist Episcopal Church South congregations in Louisiana’s Florida Parishes, was part of the Mississippi Conference until 1894. In 1890, some members of the congregation formed the Zachary Methodist Episcopal Church South (Zachary, La.). Pipkin’s Chapel closed in the late 1890s.
