1835-36 - The West Highland Cemetery is established, not far from the school and (later) church used by the West Highland Baptist Church.

1847 - After several years of worshiping at the school on the Tenny farm, the West Highland Baptist Church begins construction of a church building nearby, on what is now South Hickory Ridge Road. It is completed in 1852 and serves the congregation for the next 118 years before being demolished in 1970 to make way for a larger facility.

1850-60 - A school house is built circa 1850-60 on the west side of Hickory Ridge Road, approximately one-half mile south of Clyde Road, on land originally given for a school in 1836 by Edmund Lockwood. The building is constructed in the Greek-revival style using local fieldstone and measures 30 by 40 feet.
