Indian Springs Baptist Church was built about 1825 one mile west of this site near springs used by local Indians. The original wood-frame building survived virtually unchanged, with no modern conveniences. An Indian Springs petitionary letter was presented to the Bethlehem Baptist Association, meeting in Monroe County, by L. W. Lindsay and A. Curry on 26 September 1834, and the petition was cordially received by the association. The newly constituted church had 22 charter members and held Sabbath meetings on third Sundays. Baptisms were held in the nearby springs that gave the church its name. For more than a century, the modest church inspired a community whose ancestors brought forth the earth's bounty, worshiped God, and led lives of quiet dignity. It was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on 26 June 2003.
