Silas Baptist Church

1 mile west

Organized by 20 members of the Cooper's Run Church in 1800, with the help of Ambrose Dudley, George Eve and Augustine Eastin. They built at this site on land given, 1798, by Charles Smith, Sr. The log structure was replaced by a brick house of worship in 1850 and redecorated in 1902. It is the oldest church in the county continuing without interruption.

Marker is at the intersection of Russell Cave Road (State Road 353) and Silas Road on Russell Cave Road.
