First Baptist Church of Keeseville, original location

Title: First Baptist Church of Keeseville, original location
Description: "In the meantime, the desire for a public house of worship was growing among the people. But to accomplish it, was a seemingly insuperable task. The numbers of settlers was increasing but the majority of them were poor. Actual cash was scarce. People bartered one article for another, and paid for things in produce. People of the Methodist faith had come in and there was quite a sprinkling of Congregationalists here and there. It was decided to build a house of worship and to concede ownership to that denomination which contributed the most toward its erection. The house was built. It cost $3,000. It was built in what was then regarded as a central location and was publicly dedicated to the Worship of God October, 1826, the Rev. John A. Dodge from Monton, Vt., and father of our honored Senior Deacon (Daniel Dodge, 1861) preached the sermon on the occasion. Test 1 Cor. :31 "For the fashion of this world passeth away."
