Franklin Regular Baptist Church, also known simply as Franklin Baptist Church, is a historic church building located southeast of Seymour in rural Appanoose County, Iowa, United States. The white frame church is associated with the no longer extant village of Livingston and its founder Livingston Parker. Parker was an Upstate New York native who relocated to Ohio before homesteading in Appanoose County in 1854. The Baptist Society was formed in Franklin Township on April 12, 1862, in the home of Peter Angle. Livingston Parker served as moderator for most of the community's Covenant Meetings before he was ordained and called as a circuit preacher for churches in Exline, Iowa, St. John, Missouri, and Livingston. The congregation in Livingston met in member homes until it was able to raise the money to complete the church building in 1881. The church originally faced a road, but the county built 135th Avenue behind the church in the 1950s. The congregation remained in existence until 1967. The church building began to deteriorate until 1999 when the local cemetery association began to look after it. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Second Baptist Church (Mount Pleasant, Iowa)</span> United States historic place

The former Second Baptist Church is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. The First Colored Baptist Church of Mt. Pleasant, later Second Baptist Church, was founded in the summer of 1863 by members of First Baptist Church for the education and worship of the community's African American population. The congregation is also referred to as the "African Baptist Church". It is possible that this building was the original Methodist Episcopal church building constructed in 1843. It is believed that it was moved here in 1856 or 1857 for a newly established congregation of the Methodist Protestant Church. Either that or the main part of this small frame church was built here at that time. Regardless, the Methodist Protestant congregation did not succeed and the property was sold to First Baptist Church in January 1864 for use by the "Colored Baptist Church."
