Cusseta Methodist Church, Circa 1945, Chattahoochee County
The Methodists were organized at Cussetta before 1851, first meeting in a brush arbor. A permanent structure soon followed and was replaced in 1897. That structure was struck by lightning in 1944 and the present church was built within a couple of years, circa 1946.

Chattahoochee County Jail, 1902, Cusseta
This jail was constructed to replace an earlier wooden jail. It was used by the county until 1975. Like many other Georgia jails of the era, it was built by Pauly Jail Manufacturing Company, but unlike most jails it didn’t include a warden’s living quarters or a kitchen area.
