Old Boxley Church...

 

"Old Boxley Church"

This church sits in a beautiful valley where elk and cattle are often seen grazing together. The building was built around 1877 and served as both a church and a school. The school later consolidated with the Jasper School District, but the church remained. While a new church was built next door, the old church remains in use as a community center.

Located in Newton County, Arkansas, this church is in Boxley Valley near the town of Ponca.
