Baptist Church

Jim Kelley, a slave, organized this church in 1860.  His owner allowed the use of this plot of this plot of ground on which to build a church.  On May 15, 1873, Mr. and Mrs. William B. Street deeded the property to the trustees of the church.  New Hope Missionary Baptist Church claims to the the oldest Black church in the State of Arkansas. ~ text of marker
