VBR Photographic Journal :: March 2005 :: Photo of Cool Spring Baptist Church National Park Service sign
 

 
Photo of Cool Spring Baptist Church NPS sign
 

Date: March 18th, 2005
Milepost: 272
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.
