The Mount Zion Church was a historic church building near Big Sandy, Tennessee, USA. It was a hewn log structure built in either 1812 [2] or 1845 [1] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It was removed from the National Register in 2012. [1]
This building, which is still standing, [2] might be confused with the extant Mt. Zion Church and Cemetery located approximately 20 miles north in Henry County, Tennessee.
The church building was a hewn log structure, approximately 18 feet (5.5 m) by 24 feet (7.3 m). [2] It was built to house a Baptist congregation organized by B. S. Browning. The date of its completion has been given as either 1812, as suggested by a photo of the sign on the building, [3] or as 1845 as listed in the National Register of Historic Places database. [1] The builders were Joe Arnold, Eligh Hollaman, James Garner and another unknown person. [3]
It was destroyed by fire in the early 1990s. [2]
