The Mount Pleasant Church was organized in the 1830s. The first home of the congregation was a log church built in 1841. When fire destroyed the structure in 1853, land was donated by Jefferson Woodsmall and a new building was constructed in the same year. In 1933, the current sanctuary was built after the old church was moved and sold as a private residence.

     The first school in the township was built near Hall in 1834. By 1884 there were seven schoolhouses in the immediate vicinity. Hall High School existed for a short time until fire destroyed it on December 6, 1910. It was never rebuilt.

     Hall Elementary School is part of the Monroe/Gregg School District and serves grades 4 - 6.
