a town which got its name from this old mosque
which was said to be first build somewhere around 1900
with its walls made out of a mixture of mud and pebbles stone
and it undergoes a renovation to its present form after the war in 1951.
The town which was earlier called 'Simpang' or Junction
due to the one and only road junction nearby
was renamed Masjid Tanah.

Bangunan lama yang sangat simbolik. =)
Kalau tengok masjid tu, macam ada pengaruh dari negara China bila tengok bahagian bumbungnya.
