Center Shaftsbury Baptist Church Faces Sale and Decay
Nearly 20 years after its closure in 1947 the Center Shaftsbury Baptist Church, built in 1846, faces sale by the Vermont Baptist Convention as its tower leans and panes crumble. Locals recall past congregations, resist demolition, and seek preservation, with potential buyers and a special price of 2500 dollars edging the building toward dismantling or possible relocation efforts.
