The congregation who built this typical late-19th century house of worship organized in the idyllic Apple Valley community in 1887 and raised this structure the next year. It is thought to have also been used as a schoolhouse.
Apple Valley Baptist Church, 1888, Jackson County
My grandpa Ralph Garrison went to grade school there.
My favorite email notification is Vanishing North Georgia. Having lived in north Georgia for 64 years I’ve seen some of the places & structures but I haven’t seen most…and given the history including architectural styles is fantastic!! I’m so thankful that this most worthwhile endeavor is knowledge that’s made available.
Thank you so much, Mr. Savage. Your words are most appreciated.
