Independence Baptist Church
Sam Houston was a member of this church, and although he did not attend services in this building (they built it after he died), they still saved him a seat.
He liked to sit in the second pew from the front, on the far right, where the two flags can be seen. These pews may have been used in the former church, because the initials S.H. can be seen carved in the back of the pew directly in front of the location defined by the flags.
His second wife is buried in a small cemetery plot directly across the road from this church.
