Libby Baptist Church celebrates 50 years

On the front page of The Western News on Feb. 11, 1965, there was an announcement of the purchase of 60,000 square feet of land immediately west of Dr. Woodrow Nelson’s office on Cedar Street in Libby. The purpose: a new home for the Libby Baptist Mission, which had been meeting at the home of the Rev. Henry A. Tidwell, Jr. at 510 Nevada Avenue.
