Old Providence Church is two and a half miles northwest. As early as 1748, a log meeting house stood there. In 1793 a stone church (still standing) was built. In 1859 it was succeeded by a brick church, which gave way to the present building in 1916. In the graveyard rest ancestors of Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the reaper, and fourteen Revolutionary Soldiers.
