While doing some cataloging in the Mt. Zion Library
I came across this shot of the building from "back in the day!"

This picture is from a stack of papers that were found in a box of miscellaneous books that were placed in the library following our cleaning day. In this stack of papers were other photos including a shot of the original location of the church on Epler Avenue.

There are approx. 25 pages in the stack that give a very detailed account of the history of Mount Zion General Baptist Church. I took pictures of these documents and have bundled them together in a PDF document that you can download with the following link:

I hope to get these transcribed and present "The History of Mt Zion" as an upcoming special feature on the web site.
