The congregation at "The Stand" began meeting around 1820 at an outdoor pulpit under a brush arbor located near the Shady Grove Community (Duck River P. O.), Hickman County, Tennessee. Originally, seats were made of logs split in two and made with a broadax. Long wooden pegs driven into auger holes served as legs. A log "meeting house" was constructed in 1827 on one acre of land purchased by Samuel Alderson Baker from Allen V. Montgomery. In 1894 a new building was erected on the same site and in 1928 a modern brick building was erected in the valley and is in use today.

The Stand Cemetery is located on Stand Cemetery Road off of Dunlap Road and was established on the grounds next to the 1827 church site. It is nestled high on a hilltop overlooking the valley, and is also referenced as "Dunlap Churchyard Cemetery" or as the "Old Stand Cemetery" and misidentified on some maps as "Dunlan Cemetery".

The Stand Cemetery continues to be an active burial site with a perpetual care association to assist in the upkeep and maintenance. For information or to make a contribution contact [email protected].
