Title
First Baptist Church of Keeseville
Description
Original First Baptist Church of Keeseville as it appears today on Liberty Street. The name first given to the "First Baptist Church of Keeseville" was the "Baptist Church of Christ in Peru." It had its beginnings in 1788 on the shore of Lake Champlain in the section now called "Valcour." The founder, Isaac Finch, came to an almost unbroken wilderness just four years after Zephaniah Platt (1784) laid claim by "rights" from the State of New York to Platt's Great Location of 17,983 acres.
