The Birth of the Lott Cary Mission

In 1897, the national legislature granted one hundred acres of land in Brewerville to the American National Baptist Foreign Mission Board for “missionary purposes.” That land is now the campus of the Lott Cary Mission School.

That year, three hundred dollars was set aside for a road from Barkers Street, Brewerville, to Logan’s creek, St. Paul’s River, in response to a petition from town residents.
