Originally built as a mission for the First Baptist Church, this structure, constructed in 1890, was purchased by the African-American congregation of the New Bethel Baptist Church around the turn of the twentieth century. Henry David Carpenter served as pastor of New Bethel and educator to Warren County's black children.   Built in 1872, Taylor's Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church is one of the few remaining buildings with links to Bowling Green's nineteenth-century black community. It is located at 314 East 7th Avenue.   Home l Early History l Agriculture l Business l Industry l Education l Health and Medicine l Recreation l Religion l Transportation l War l Timeline l Map l Sponsors   Updated December 15, 2000 Created by Donna Parker with contribution from Sandy Staebell, Laura Harper Lee, Lynne Ferguson and Jon Kay.
