Site of Palmyra Settlement, approx. 6 mi. from Greenup, KY 207
In the log meeting house of Palmyra Baptist Church, once located near here, Greenup Assoc. was formed in 1841. John Young (1764-1855), early settler on Little Sandy River and Palmyra's pastor, enlisted two other churches from across Ohio River to form association. By 1991, its sesquicentennial year, original three churches had grown to fifty. Presented by Greenup Assoc. of Baptist Churches.
