Valleytown Cultural Arts Center 
In 1923 the First Baptist Church of Andrews built a beautiful structure on what is today the corner of Third and Chestnut streets. It is filled
with original hardwood flooring, rich wood trimmings and a myriad of stained glass windows. Its fixtures and moldings are gilded. The lofty
ceilings are made of an intricately patterned pressed tin. It was an exquisite house of honor. Unfortunately, heating and cooling concerns,
repairs and accessibility prompted the congregation to build a new church . A group of Chamber members from Andrews organized what is now
Valleytown Cultural Arts & Historical Society to purchase and save the historic building. The building is on the National Historical Register.A massive grant writing and fund–raising effort supported by the entire community went into action and the building was purchased in June of 1986 from the First Baptist Church specifically for the purpose of providing a facility for the community to have performing and visual arts entertainment and enrichment. In the many years since the purchase of the building, the Valleytown Cultural Arts and Historical Society has provided innumerable Arts events for community enjoyment.
