EDEN BAPTIST CHURCH and Eden Church Road are about two miles east of 

Denham Springs on US Hwy. 190.  The road connects the highway with 

Lockhart Crossing Road.  The church was organized in 1871, and Mr. 

and Mrs. S.S. Dixon donated the land upon which the present church 

stands.  The brick sanctuary that now stands was completed in 1967.(1)
