Memorial Day Flag Project
The Sons of the American Legion have placed American flags beside the graves of Anderson County veterans at Lawrenceburg Cemetery for Memorial Day since 2004.
This is the 1st year that the SAL has done this, and all of the graves with military markers are covered, however we are certain there are several veterans that do not have military markers. If your family member's (past or present), friend or other loved one's grave was not marked please submit name and cemetery section they rest in to the Anderson County SAL to be included in the future.

Old Salt River Primitive Baptist Church
An Anderson County concerned citizens' group chaired by Sandy Peggs has undertaken a campaign to restore the Salt River Baptist Church, constructed in 1798. An article about the church's history and the restoration initiative, as well as a photo of the church building in its present condition, appear on page A-2 of the May 13, 1998, issue of The Anderson News. Additional information may be obtained from the Anderson Co. Historical Society.
Donations, to go toward restoration of the church building, should be sent to:
