In that year Elder John T. Johnson held a revival that resulted in 117 additions to the church. Alexander Campbell first visited Versailles in 1823, but is is not known whether a church existed here at that time. In 1852 a lot was purchased by Samuel Nuckols, Dr. B. Cloak and B.F. Duval, trustees. In August, 1853, a new house of worship was formally opened. The building was erected by Alexander Campbell. At a semi-centennial celebration held in 1903, four persons were present who had heard Elder Campbell's dedicatory address in 1853. They were: B. F. Hall, who was related to the Ball family of Woodford county; Dr. A. Adams, who married a widow, Mrs. Jesse, of Versailles and died at Lancaster; Curtis Smith, Newton Payne, William Norton, Elisha Pinkerton, T. N. Gaines, John I. Rogers, C. C. Moore, T. J. Gore, T. N.
