History

A local African-American Baptist congregation formed in 1890, and the church was built in 1901. It was used as a rural school until material became available to build one. The church operated until 1976. Church members deeded the building to the city of Redfield in 1993. The Redfield Historical Society manages the building and it is used for holiday choir performances, private weddings and public tours by appointment.[2]
