Coal Ridge Baptist Church and Cemetery (also known as Coal Ridge Church; Coal Ridge Community Church; Coal Ridge Church Museum) is a historic church at 1034 IA S71 in Knoxville, Iowa that was built in 1909. It replaced an 1860-built church that was destroyed in a fire on October 11, 1908, and it served the community of Coalport, which is long gone. Coalport, built in the floodplain of the Des Moines River, disappeared under man-made Lake Red Rock when the river was dammed in 1969. The church and cemetery are on a hill above the lake. with Read more on Wikipedia
