It is located in Concord Township at the northeast corner of the intersection of Little Creek Road (CR 87) and Acton Rd. (T-507) in Ross County, Ohio. An Ohio Historical marker says "The Concord Church was an integral part of the anti- slavery movement and was a station on the Underground Railroad. Reverend James H. Dickey, the congregation's second pastor, was known to be 'an avowed anti-slavery man' and an 'active Ohio abolitionist.' The Anderson and Galbreath families, who were members of the congregation, were Underground Railroad conductors. Fugitives hid in the loft of the church until they could be taken to the next station in either Frankfort or Chillicothe."
