Located between Unadilla and Pinehurst, this tiny vernacular chapel sits at the rear of a pecan orchard and in front of a cotton field. There’s a cemetery beside it, as well as wooden dinner-on-the-grounds tables. This congregation apparently still meets the third Sunday of each month.

This was recently called “Homeboy Ribs”. It follows the common South Georgia tradition of a rib shack or barbeque joint in African-American neighborhoods. To see an older image:

First African Baptist Church, 1868, Darien

The most historic African-American congregation in Darien, and perhaps the entire central part of the Georgia coast, Darien’s First African Baptist was founded in 1822. The present design is based on the design of the church built in 1834, which like much of Darien, was burned by Union troops in 1863. This was not related to General W. T. Sherman’s March to the Sea, as some would assume.
