"About 1835, settlers built a one-room log cabin school on land ceded from the Indians just 14 years earlier — on the same site our church now occupies. Water for the school was carried in buckets from a 'cool, clear, sparkling' spring located across the dirt road from the school. The water from the spring came from under a rock, and rocks formed the sides of the spring. Surrounding beautiful trees made it a delightful, cool, shady place; the area became known as the Rock Spring community." — from the Spirit of Rock Spring: A History of Rock Spring Presbyterian Church by Barbara Wright Cheshire, PhD
