Directions:
At Milesburg Routes 150 and 220 cloverleaf take the exit to Yarnell. This is Moose Run Road. Go 2.4 miles to cemetery and church on right.
The Marsh Creek Advent Church was organized in 1848 and a church was built in 1849. An acre of ground was presented by General Irvin and Colonel Gregg. The cemetery adjoins the church. From an entry in his diary, Stanley Watson was selling cemetery plots in 1906. Stanley and John Thomas Watson, whose land adjoined the church property, sold or donated cemetery plots to many persons over the years. The church building was in use until 1953.
During the 1890s an Advent Historical Society was formed to preserve the church building. Sarah Franco, who was instrumental in organizing, said the restoration was being done as a memorial to ancestors buried there and to preserve the history of the Advent movement in Centre County.
