On October 1, 1869, in a building on the old Montebello Farm, local persons met to organize the Mt. Paran Baptist Church. By 1892, E.J. and Mary S. Robertson deeded a parcel of land to the church. In 1907, a new deed was made to enlarge the grounds to accommodate a cemetery and a addition was granted in 1943. In 1931 the church replaced the original one-room structure with a brick building. The present parsonage was built in 1954.

We hope you have a wonderful experience in our big outdoors which is the NELSON SCENIC LOOP. We look forward to your comments and suggestions.
Please understand there are 50 miles of public roads that make up the NELSON SCENIC LOOP but much of the adjoining land is private or George Washington National Forest Wilderness Land. We ask that you be RESPECTFUL of these PROPERTIES and the PRIVACY of the Nelson residents who live and work here. The way of life here is a special one. There are no farms or residences open generally to the public. In this regard, please be on the lookout for cars entering the roads, children playing and respect the farm equipment traffic you encounter. This is a rural area and the roads are not meant for high speeds.
