The Hartselle Historical Society invites the public to learn more about one of Hartselle’s oldest churches during Down Memory Lane Sept. 12 from 6-7:30 p.m.

The event will be held at First Christian Church, located at 209 Main Street East where the church has stood for 100 years. A tour of the building and displays will begin at 6:15 p.m. Refreshments will be provided in the basement.

“If you are one of many people who pass this church several times a week and would like to see inside this beautiful building with special stained-glass windows, now is your time to walk inside and hear its history,” Bettye English, who is a part of the Hartselle Historical Society, said. “It has stood as a very stately looking structure to greet those entering our east side of town for over 100 years.”

First Christian Church was founded in 1881 with the meeting of the seven-member congregation in a frame building on the south end of Milner Street. The present building was erected in 1922. An elevator is located next to handicap parking at the rear of the building.
