Through the 1930s, Mount Calvary Baptist Church regularly held baptismal services in Accotink Branch, in the pool formed where it meets the Tussico. White-robed candidates were immersed by church clergy as they were baptized into the Christian community. Founded in 1870, Mount Calvary Baptist Church is believed to be the first African-American church in the city of Fairfax.
