Jewell Historic District, National Register of Historic Places
This lovingly restored antebellum church was spared during Sherman’s March to the Sea thanks to the Masonic affiliation of Daniel Ashley Jewell. Moved from nearby Rock Mill Plantation in 1894, it’s an integral part of Jewell today. Jewell is one of numerous Georgia communities whose town limits fall within more than one county.

Daniel Ashley Jewell, who made a fortune with his prosperous cotton mill on the Ogeechee River beginning in 1857, funded the building of this beautiful church. It was originally known as the Missionary Baptist Church of Christ at Jewell.

The house pictured here is located on the Warren County side of the Ogeechee River; part of the historic community of Jewell is located in Hancock County, as well.
As evidenced by the accomplished architectural styles present in the area, it was much more prosperous in its early history.
