Built 1872; rebuilt after storm destruction in 1910. Oldest family chapel in continuous use in county. Benjamin F. Blanton (b.1838) organized it and preached there until his death 1917. His grandchildren are still in congregation. Scene of reunions of the Blanton family as late as 1963. Descendants still go there for their weddings.
