Baptist Church

From 1898 to 1901, the Baptists of Plaster Rock worshipped at Linton Corner Church. After 1901, a room was reserved in the sawmill. Services were even held in the hotel office during the cold winter months. In 1908, the congregation celebrated the dedication of their new church. Disaster struck when both the parsonage and church were destroyed by fire in 1920 by sparks from the mill. Two years later their second church celebrated its dedication at the present day site. The first minister was Rev. Charles Sterling.
