Chariton Ridge Primitive Baptist Church - Callao, Missouri
November 20, 2007 – 1:08 pm7 miles north of Callao, MO on Missouri route 3.
Chariton Church was organized on the fourth Saturday in July 1844. The church met at first in homes of members, or a nearby schoolhouse, until 1846, when land was donated by Elder William Sears, and a log building was erected just west of what is known as the old Chariton Cemetery. A frame house replaced it, 40 by 24 feet, in about 1856. The present meeting house was built in 1889.
