George Jones Memorial Baptist Church and Cemetery is about a half mile down a gated gravel road from Route 327, just off the "Oak Ridge Turnpike" to the west of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Wheat Community Monument is about another half mile farther down the same gravel road.

Quote of the moment |
Once I prophesied that this generation of Americans had a rendezvous with destiny. That prophecy now comes true. To us much is given; more is expected. This generation will nobly save or mainly lose the last best hope of earth. The way is plain, peaceful, generous just. A way, which if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless. |
