Cohasset, the railway village of Bass Brook Township,
received its name from the town of Cohasset on the east coast of
Massachusetts. It is an Indian word, meaning, as noted by Henry Gannett,
"fishing promontory," "place of pines," or "young pine trees." A post
office was established in 1892; the village was incorporated on February
20, 1902; in 1916 the village of Cohasset and Bass Brook Township were
separated; in 1957 residents voted again to become one governmental
unit; in 1975 the merger was dissolved, with Bass Brook incorporating as
a city in 1992 and Cohasset remaining the post office.
Calvary
Pines Baptist Church is a classic country church -- built
from the pines that were felled when clearing the property. We
call it "The Come as You are Church" because you can come to
services in a suit or jeans, skirt or slacks, whatever you're
comfortable with. We're not here to inspect clothes, but to
worship the Lord and to get closer to Him.
