Abstract:

Flat River Primitive Baptist Church near Roxboro in Person County is one of the oldest churches in North Carolina as it has been in steady use for almost two centuries. Built around 1753, the church contains a fireplace and shed where slaves could hear the gospel. The church has also served as a meeting house, and church records have kept up with generations of attendance.
