CHALK LEVEL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,

The old church building was an important part of the Chalk Level Community,
located
1/4 mile North of the Chalk Level Store and Post office.
After many of the older members had passed away and younger ones moved from
the area,
the church doors were closed. The old building was sold and moved
to a neighboring farm.
