The text of the historic marker reads:

"A Quaker Meeting was established on Goose Creek in 1757, and a meeting house built. Fear of Indians caused most of the Quakers to move elsewhere though some of them returned. Unsuccessful attempts were made to re-establish the Goose Creek Meeting. Before 1824 a church was established near here. The present church (Quaker Baptist) built in 1898 stands near the site of the old building."
