New Providence Primitive Baptist Church
Location: FM 485 & FM 979, Maysfield
Erected in: 2001
Marker text: Constituted in 1866 with eight charter members, New Providence Primitive Baptist
Church has served this rural area of Milam County for over a century. Elders
William Thomas and G. W. McDonald were the church's original preachers. Members
first held their services in a schoolhouse in Maysfield. This property was
deeded to the church in 1899. That same year, members built a white frame
structure in which they continued to worship at the turn of the 21st century.
The church grounds remain in use as a gathering place for families, and church
services continue to reflect the doctrines of the founders. (2001)
