Cross Began as Dream That Swept Bald Knob to Grant Vision
Bald Knob Cross atop the Alto Pass mountain grew from a 1936 idea by Makanda men Wayman Presley and Reverend William Lively to unite worship across denominations. The first Easter service occurred in 1937, reaching about 10,000 by the mid 1940s. Funds came from many, including Myrta Clutts who pledged $100 despite poverty, with her pig Betsy indirectly aiding fundraising via piglet sales. The cross was completed in 1963, with lighting added in 1964, and ongoing fundraisers keep it a beacon for all faiths.
