Corinth Church and Cemetery (Huron)
To date, we've neglected the northern portion Of Izard County...mainly due to a lack of knowledge about it. This week, we visited the old Corinth Church near the old community of Huron just south of the Fulton County line. It's a very old site and the cemetery hosts the graves of many early settlers...most notably, the Circuit Rider, George Washington Brinsfield. As we get more tips (like the ones we got about the Trimble House and this site), we'll be sure to document our findings. It's really beautiful country!

Wish I could have been along for the ride! Somehow I missed this church on my last visit to Fulton and Izard..What kind of church was this? So much to see - and so far from Florida! thanks for sharing! Vola
My Great-Grandparents are buried here. Such a beautiful place....near Wild Cherry.........I've heard all the stories... Take me back in time........................
My name is Kelly Tjurner and have been to this church in the wild cherry area as a kid growing up in calico rock. I'm glad to see it kept up and taken notice to.
I know that this is a common claim people make around the world, but to me the Ozarks of Arkansas truly is God's Country! This site will be dedicated to showing anyone interested--Sunday motorists to fair-weather cyclists--some of the hidden treasures in the county they drive through.
Over the past several years, with the explosion of the popularity of custom car-clubs and motorcycle enthusiasts, Izard county has seen a parade of people from outside the area coming to enjoy the panoramic views from the comfort of their chosen mode of pleasurable transportation. Many, I'm absolutely sure, drive by sights that are easily accesible and not far off the highway never even knowing those sights are there. This blog will give anyone searching for information before they visit the area a way to know where some of those places are.

It was a Methodist Church, Vola, from what I've been able to find on the web.
