This cache is located on the original spot of the Waynesburg Baptist Church. The Waynesburg Baptist Church was founded on July 10, 1843, by a group of fifteen Christians. By 1846 they were worshiping in a small frame structure costing less than $1,000 on the corner of High and West streets. Their first pastor was the Reverend Simeon Siegfried.
The building was located on a small part of Waynesburg Commons, deeded to the Church trustees by the Greene County Commissioners in 1843. A cupola was added to the building, and a bell, cast by A. Fulton of Pittsburgh in 1848, was installed to call the congregation to worship. Hope you enjoy the history and the cache. Good Luck!
