Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Stilesboro

It was established in 1886. It consisted of members from two different African Churches in the area. One was affiliated with Raccoon Baptist Church of which there is mention of  in minutes from 1837. The other was off today's GA-113 but it burned long ago. One acre of land was donated in 1886 and more land purchased between 1896 and 1960. At one time there was a two story school for African-American children on the property but that is no longer around. The current church was built in 1920 and is still active today.
