Sage, led an effort to construct a church building. New church buildings were constructed in 1891 and in 1917.

As of 2016, the location was known as the junction of Nevada County Roads 23 and 260.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As early as 1810, the community of Moscow had primarily consisted of various small farms and businesses that included several retail shops, two blacksmiths, a post office, a saloon, and a Masonic Lodge. Methodist historians place the church congregations date of origin as early as 1842. The first marked burial in the cemetery dates to 1864, but the deed to the grounds was not issued until 1868, so it appears that the land had been in use for burial and religious purposes well before the property transaction was formalized and recorded.</p><br>
<p>In 1864, the Civil War brought several battles to the area surrounding Moscow during the Red River Campaign and the Camden Expedition.</p><br>
<p>During those conflicts, the Confederate Army of Major General Sterling Price and Brigadier General Thomas Dockery engaged the Union Army of Major General Frederick Steele and Brigadier General John Thayer. The Moscow area was surrounded by historic battles that include:</p><br>
<p>Engagement at Elkin&#39;s Ferry. April 3–4, 1864.</p><br>
<p>Skirmish at Prairie D’Ane. April 9–13, 1864.</p><br>
<p>Action at Moscow. April 13, 1864.</p><br>
<p>Engagement at Poison Spring. April 18, 1864.</p><br>
<p>In 1873, the Cairo and Fulton Railroad was constructed a short distance from Moscow and a new town was laid out alongside the rails. Being on the outskirts of a rapidly growing railroad town, Moscow merchants and businessmen quickly relocated to be alongside the rails. While Prescott grew, Moscow&#39;s population began to dwindle. The Citizens of Prescott continued to use Moscow Cemetery as a community burial site until 1880, when the De Ann Cemetery was established and Moscow community disappeared over time.</p><br>
<p>In the years afterwards, Moscow Methodist Church and Cemetery continued serving the Moscow and Prescott area. The church was listed in the minutes of the Little Rock Conference of the Methodist Church into the 1970s and regular services continued until 1989.</p><br>
<p>In December 2003, the Trustees of the Arkansas Conference of the United Methodist Church quit-claimed their interest in the church building and grounds to the Moscow Cemetery Association.</p><br>
<p>Moscow Methodist Church and Cemetery are what remains of the original community; an early settlement and little documented trade center in the Missouri Township, of Nevada County in Southwest Arkansas.</p><br>
