Title A name given to the resource First Baptist Church of Ashburn, (1891-1903) Description An account of the resource From Wayne Blue: The first building built by the church and remained the place of worship until 1903, when a new larger wooden building was built on McLendon St. The new building had two wings and 3 balconies. In 1956 this building was replaced by the current brick building which has one balcony and seated around 450. The orginal building later became the Wesleyan Methodist Church. It was located at the corner of south Gordon St and east Madison Ave. This is where the storage buildings are now located. The Baptist held their first meeting under the mill shed of the J.S. Betts Company in August 1889 in the town of Marion, which later became Ashburn. A tree had not been milled at this time. The property for the first building was donated by Mr and Mrs. W W Ashburn. The congregation meet in the school house until that first building was complete. The building was heated by a coal stove and lighted by oil lights. The first musical instrument was a pump organ.

I am all about supporting a local family business and a Georgia Grown product. To learn how to take strawberries and make jam, visit the link below.
