12 BGW - Primitive Baptist Church Traditional Cache

A walking tour of Smithfield through the Buffalo Greenway Walking and Biking Trail will share information regarding the history of Smithfield. Please take the time to visit the actual locations for more information.

Brochures for the walking tour will be found the ammo can at the 01 BGW – Masonic Lodge cache.

Most of the caches are large green bison tubes hanging at various heights to protect them from flooding that occurs periodically.  A note on the cache page will alert you to a different type of container.

12 BGW - Primitive Baptist Church:

This one room church (ca. 1875) represents Johnston County’s largest religious denomination of the 19^th century. Primitive Baptists still worship in much the same way as their pioneer ancestors – no Sunday schools or missionaries, preachers who are “raised up in the church”, and singing without the use of man-made instruments. The Smithfield congregation still sings from the 1841 Benjamin Lloyd hymn book in use since the church’s founding.
