It is slightly obscured by a tree that has overgrown and needs trimming. The marker has text on both sides. The front reads, "Second African Baptist Church, now Green Street Baptist Church, was formally organized here, Sept. 29, 1844. As was usual in the years of slavery, the founding members had the sponsorship of a protection committee, appointed by First Baptist Church (now Walnut Street). The first pastor was Elder George Wells, 1844-1850." and on the reverse, "The church was more than a religious experience for African Americans. It was also a school, a social center, and a training ground in group cooperation. In 1848 the church relocated to Green Street (now Liberty) and took its current name in 1860. Church moved to its new edifice at 519 East Gray Street, September 29, 1930. Over." It is marker number 1949 and was erected in 1994 by the Green Street Baptist Church, the Kentucky Historical Society and the Kentucky Department of Highways. There is metered street parking nearby.

The marker reads, "Five Indiana regiments were formed at this rendezvous point in 1846-1847 for service in the Mexican War. The first 3,000 men departed for active duty under Brigadier-General Joseph Lane during July, 1846." For those unfamiliar, the Mexican-American war lasted from 1846 to 1848 and followed the US annexation of Texas which Mexico still considered Mexican territory since the government did not recognize the treaty signed by Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna when he was a prisoner of the Texian Army during the 1836 Texas Revolution. The war was decisively won by the United States and the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848. The treaty gave the United States undisputed control of Texas and established the US-Meixcan border of the Rio Grande. It also ceded to the United States the present-day states of California, Nevada, and Utah, most of New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming. Around 20% of the landmass of the 2020 United States excluding Alaska. So to those who Hoosiers formed up from here to fight for my country, thank you. [Review 13538 overall, 857 of 2020.]

We visited this time the week before Christmas 2025 and were fortunate to catch it on a day when temperatures allowed us to linger more to take in all of the scenes. We typically park down the street and walk to see it since it's on a dead end street and is best seen as a pedestrian. (As an appreciative observer, please be respectful of the neighbors' yards when parking, walking, and noise level. I'm sure they are understanding, but it's important to be thoughtful as a guest.) A few days after our visit, we happened to see a news story on Spectrum about the display regarding the Kids' Cancer Alliance and Brian H.
