Liberty Methodist Church in Greene County

It is one of the older churches in the colonial back country of Georgia. Founded in 1786 it was known as Liberty Chapel in it's early days. Originally the members met in a brush arbor very close to the current location. The first church was built in 1797 and replaced by a larger building in 1805. That building was replaced by the present building in 1900. The reason the church was named Liberty is because so many of it's original members were members of the Son's of Liberty and/or Revolutionary War Veterans.
