Bonhomme Old Stone Church

The Old Stone Cake.

Bonhomme Presbyterian Church is the second oldest Presbyterian church west of the Mississippi River. It was founded in 1816. For many years church services were held in the log cabin homes of the members of the church if and when a minister was able to come out from St. Louis. In 1841, the members of the church built a Meeting House out of limestone that accommodated a public school on the first floor and place of worship upstairs.

The Old Stone Church was active until the outbreak of the Civil War during which it was closed by the military. The new Bonhomme Church is located about a half mile away.

Colin and Andrew said they really liked this cake because the cows were having a birthday party.
