The theme of 2022's Historic Preservation Month in Benton County is "More Than Ever, This Place Matters."
Palestine Church - The Palestine Baptist Church was built in 1883 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Come share the memories of the ladies who used and maintained the structure over many decades until ownership was transferred to Benton County and it was moved to Adair Village. Guides: members of the Willing Workers, a group organized in 1916 by farm women to provide a support system for women and families who lived in isolated rural areas.
