The area where the stones have been placed and the flowers planted by William (Bill) Conner
is where the old Salem Head of the River Primitive Baptist Church stood.
It is believed it was built about 1875.
The church was organized in 1784 and the first church may have been located behind this one.
The new church was built in 1984.
