Inscription

One of the oldest "still attended" churches in the state, it was built in 1835 of hand-hewed logs. Much effort has been expended on the preservation of church's original appearance. It is heated by a potbellied stove and lighted by kerosene lights. Deed book states that all denominations, except those of "Northern Principles," were welcome.

Many graves in the church cemetery predate the Civil War.
