Bethel A. M. E. Church, 1903, Quitman

This historic African Methodist Episcopal church traces its origins to a group of Freedmen in 1866. The present structure, an amazing example of the uneven-tower type church, was dedicated in August 1903, during the pastorate of I. S. Hamilton. The stucco siding was added during a renovation in 2016. It’s one of the oldest Black congregations in Brooks County, if not the oldest.
