The descendants of the Steve Armstrong family conceived the idea of
the Bell Bottom History House to preserve the heritage of the early
settlers of the area. The house is the former residence of
Alonia Fletcher-Keys and is located at 1549 County Road 162 in
the Bell Bottom Community about one mile from St. Marks
Missionary Baptist Church.
