This historic African-American congregation is still active and this structure is adjacent to the associated cemetery. I am unaware of the history of the church, but it is possible that itwas established by former slaves of the Old Town plantation, located nearby.
This structure is located near the old church, and may have been a schoolhouse. Near the newer church is also a structure which appears to have been a school. I hope to learn more.
Hello I am a descendant of the Olive Vine Baptist Church in Waleska Georgia. Most of my maternal family is buried there. Yes there was a Church School that my mother attended through 3rd Grade. I’m seeking some history for my family.
Very interesting! Hope you learn more and share it with us.
