This is the first of a series of caches which will highlight
sections of the Federal Road as it passed through Montgomery
County. I hope that you will enjoy the series as much as we have
enjoyed putting it together.
On February 13, 1819, a group of settlers in this area formed a
church. In December of that same year this church along with four
others formed the Alabama Baptist Association. The church was
blessed and enjoyed a large attendance. In 1837 this church found
itself in the center of a major split over the issue of missions.
This resulted in a split of the Church and the formation of
Primitive and Missionary Baptists.
This is a micro cache and can be accessed from outside of the
cemetery, and was placed by permission. You will need to bring your
own pen. After finding the cache take some time to visit and pay
your respects to many of the early members of this church.
Inside the gate you will also find a historic marker. Please be
respectful of the area. If you see any trash on the ground, please
remember to "Cache In and Trash Out" and help keep this area
clean.
