The 2009 annual Homecoming will be on Sunday, August 2nd. Our keynote speaker will be Mark Miles, Deputy State Historical Preservation Officer for the State of Missouri with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
Pennytown, MO - An Historic Black Hamlet

I think it would be very helpful to have directions to the church posted on your Web site. It’s not very easy to find if you’re not a local person. Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion, Kathy. We will work on getting directions up as soon as possible.
Best,
