Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church - Whitney, TX - Baptist Churches on Waymarking.com

This church received a much-needed facelift in 2016. In the gallery are 2013 photos of their 1894 cornerstone, as well as one from a 1966 rededication of the church. Hopefully, those stones are put back on display at some point. A 1998 Texas Historical Marker provides some history:

Among the first African-American Baptist congregations in Hill County were the churches at Towash (organized in 1869), Lofer’s Bend, and near Aquilla. These three congregations were united in 1883 to form the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church. Pleasant Hill’s original building was demolished and the cornerstone laid for a new structure in 1894. Church trustees purchased the church lot from Dr. D.R. Wallace of Waco in 1901. The congregation had grown to about 100 members by 1907. More than 100 years later, the members carry on the traditions of worship and community instilled by the early Pleasant Hill congregation.
