Abandoned Church, Stewart County

Abandoned three-bay gable front church surrounded by trees, showing signs of neglect and missing pews.

This three-bay gable front church is located just southwest of County Line Baptist Church and its historic cemetery. It it possible that it served a Black congregation connected at one time to that church. It is missing its pews and appears to have been abandoned for quite some time. I will continue to try to identify it and will update if I can.

    Stewart County is the most bizarre Georgia county to me. The county seat, Lumpkin, is unfortunately a very dead town with very low income and almost no businesses. The county’s topography is really weird from poor farming practices, creating the famous Providence Canyon and windy roads around the whole county. It’s a very unknown place, because a Google search of Lumpkin will mostly held results about Lumpkin County. It also has the largest immigrant center ion center in the US (Weird placement…) and this heavily skews the census data. Wikipedia will say around 5000 people live here, but it’s really about 3500 if you remove the prisoner population. It’s also kinda famous for Richland Rum. It’s so sad to see such a place fade away so fast, like in this photo right here. But it’s also so fascinating to explore bygone places like this. I hope to explore this place more in the future as I’ve only ever driven through Stewart County.
