LIBERTY SPRINGS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The legend of Liberty Springs holds that during the early part of the Revolutionary War before the conflict became so bitterly ugly, two opposing armies were squared off on
either side of the springs. These armies found themselves waylaid by a greater enemy than either one of them presented to the other. These armies were suffering from the
effects of deadly smallpox. A truce was arranged. It was decided that if opposing forces needed the succor of the springs, if they laid down their weapons, they could have
unfettered access to the healing waters. Alas, truces of this sort soon proved short-lived, and the war became a bitter civil war with unspeakable atrocities. Liberty Springs
became a fleeting period of grace during this very calamitous time." Source: https://www.laurenscounty250.com
