The Jones Memorial Methodist Church is a historic church building at 400 East Main Street in Hartford, Arkansas. It is a T-shaped two story brick building, with a gabled roof and stone foundation. Its main facade has a Classical Revival appearance, with a gabled portico sheltering the main entrance, supported by six large Doric columns. Built in 1921, it is the only major example of the architectural style in the small city. The $25,000 cost of its construction was a burden on the congregation, and its mortgage was paid off in the 1930s by Dr. Elisha Baxter Jones, in whose honor the church was thereafter named.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1]
