1. Universalist Church Marker
The original church was formed a few hundred yards north of this spot in 1871.
In 1924, the church moved to a new building in Hutsonville.
In 2008, the church building was razed. This cornerstone was removed and mounted here as a memorial to all those whose lives were shaped by the Universalist faith.
