Date Founded

1894
|
 |
| Roberts Chapel was the first
African-American church established in the community. It began under
the leadership of Rev. Woodard in 1894. The original log building
was also used as a school. After about 3 years, the congregation
bought land to the north and named the new church Plainview Methodist Church.
That property now serves as a community cemetery. |

How to Get There:
From
I-12, take the Denham Springs exit and head north on LA 3002 (Range Ave.).
When you get to the intersection of Rodeo, Range, and Hwy 190 (Florida
Ave.), turn left onto Julia. The church is on the right, about 100
yards past this intersection. Note: Rodeo Dr. becomes Julia
St. at this intersection. |
