Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church - Baptismal
The Baptismal located outside and to the rear of the Church on the school side, was used from 1945 until 1988. All members presenting for baptism were baptized here during those years. Prior to 1945, members were baptized in a nearby body of water. After 1988, a donation was received to build an inside pool, and the outside baptismal was closed at the time.
Erected by the Shiloh Community Restoration Foundation.
