Willseyville Community Baptist Church - Willseyville, NY - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"The Willseyville Community Baptist Church is located in beautiful Willseyville, NY. We are a Baptist Church whose rich history began in 1837...In the year of our Lord 1837 one hundred and fifty years ago in the village of Willseyville, then called Big Flat, God’s Holy Spirit moved in the hearts of some of His children and the Baptist Society was born. Jacob Willsey and his family, for whom the town was later named, were among the 15 charter members. It was he who
donated the land for a meetinghouse that would be built in 1839-1840...At this time Willseyville was a busy farming community; and due to the business acumen of Jacob Willsey it boasted of a sawmill, a general store, a tavern and a post office which he established in 1827. "
