                    RICHLAND  
            Baptist Church Site

 Richland Baptist Church, constituted about 1830,
was located on land given by Henry AUDULPH,
first settler of Richland. A baptismal pool was built
near a spring in the park.
 Here the Bethel Baptist Assn. Was organized
Nov.23, 1833 by the Rev. Anderson SMITH
and Rev. Andrew HOOD. 15 churches withdrew
from the Columbus Assn., organized in 1828,
to form the new association, after the split
over missions in 1838 and the  destruction
of the building by a tornado, Richland Church
was moved 3 miles S on the Dawson Road. Later,
it was moved E. on the Old Leesburg Road.
