Dean Divers Church

During Reconstruction, this area, known as Five Forks, was settled by freed slaves. In 1900 a Missionary Sunday School was opened on Balls Ford Road by Miss Jennie Dean. This site of the church was donated by Henrietta Page and through financial contributions by the Divers family of New Jersey and efforts of Miss Dean, the establishment of Dean Divers Baptist Church became a reality in 1909. Today, a historic marker is located at the church.
