Zion Baptist Church is home to one of the oldest African American congregations in Westmoreland County. Before slavery ended,according to local tradition, services werefirst held under a dogwood bush arbor onGawen's Farm, near Tucker Hill, approximatelyone and a half miles north of here. Themembers had most likely worshiped at thenearby white Machodoc (Sandy Valley)Baptist Church. Zion Baptist Church was formally organized in 1867, when the congregation constructed a log building. During the latter half of the 1800s, a fire and expanding membership required the construction of two other buildings. The 14 present church was erected in 1932.
