Location: Cool Spring Baptist Church and Jesse Brown Cabin
Comment: Cool Spring Baptist Church: On summer sundays of long ago mountain families gathered here from miles around to hear circuit-riding preacher Willie Lee or Bill Church expound from the shade of a big maple tree. This reconstructed mountain "church" was mostly a weather shelter. The infrequent "preachins" being generally outdoor affairs after spending the night in Jesse Brown's Nearby Cabin they rode on to other soul-saving appointments.
