Tuskegee Baptist Church. (Founded 1867). Annie Walker Armstrong (1850-1938), Corresponding Secretary of Woman's Missionary Union, Southern Baptist Convention, made five extended trips to Indian Territory, (now Oklahoma) between 1900 and 1905 to strengthen work among women's mission societies and their allegiance to W.M.U.-S.B.C. During her first trip in August 1900, she visited Tuskegee Indian Baptist Church located 7/10 mile south of this marker, to organize the first women's missionary society among the Creek Nation. A large rock she used to mount her horse is located on the south side of this church. Miss Armstrong was responsible for funding two women missionaries to represent W.M.U. interests in Indian Territory. She stated that the work among the women in Indian Territory had become "her first love."
