As you leave our subdivision and go west, not even a mile down the road is Salem Baptist Church. The congregation was founded in 1794. For some perspective, George Washington was President in 1794. The original log cabin used for the church is long gone, and worship now takes place in a sanctuary built in 1984. The one with this steeple was left standing and still sees some use. I'm not sure when it was built but the design seems to be mid-1800s.
