Afternoon Sam/Carol! I believe the once little dirt road that ran RIGHT along side the farm is now Alcoa off ramp from Hwy 30! Not sure, but I think that's what I remember??? In any case, the church is DIRECTLY across the street....a little white wooden structure w/steeple and tiny room on one back/side and elongated addition on the other side. Lots of grass in front. When the original church (which I believe was located on the other side of Hwy 30) "blew away" in a Valentines Day storm, my Harrison grandparents sold the land THIS church sits on, to the community for $20. Then, they donated all the lumber and helped the community built the one that stands today. That was 1909. I have a photo of the original tiny church...it was tooooo cool!!! Love it!! If interested, I'll find it and send to you? Have a beautiful day!!!
