Dripping Springs Baptist Church
Formerly of Barren County, now in
Metcalfe County KY
Slaves who were members of a white
church
1798 - 1852
Note: During this time period, the
church would have been in Barren Co but after Metcalfe County was
created in 1860, it automatically was in Metcalfe Co. This is the 2nd
oldest church in the area. Thus there will Barren Co names which now
appear in Metcalfe Co. Source: Barren’s Black Roots, Volume 4,
