The NRHP application (secondary link below) informs us that the Baptist Church was formed in mid-19th century. Aaron Benedict, from Stockbridge, Mass. obtained land for the construction of a country church around 1848. The Baptist congregation lasted until 1890 when then building was sold to the Free Methodists in 1909.
