Location: This marker is located behind New Hope Baptist Church on Highway 66 about two miles east of Grandview, Indiana. It is believed the old highway was behind the church and followed the tree line beside the marker. Local people said the church originally faced the river or old highway and was rotated to face the new highway that now exists.

This photo is looking south. The column is barely visible beside the red storage barn in the back of the church. These photos were taken in 2005.

This is the east side of the column.
