THE WAYNESBORO HISTORIC DISTRICT: GEORGIA’S 2,000TH LISTING IN THE
NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES
Waynesboro is located just 25 miles south of Augusta and
approximately 100 miles north of Savannah, two
of Georgia’s oldest cities. The town plan was developed
in 1783, when state legislation made Waynesboro the county seat
for Burke County in east central Georgia. The Waynesboro Historic
District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on
March 25, 2009 and the district encompasses 435 acres that centers
on the courthouse and central business district and expands to
residential and industrial areas surrounding downtown. This historic
town of 6,000 residents achieved another distinction when the
Waynesboro Historic District became the 2,000th listing in the
National Register of Historic Places for Georgia.
The Waynesboro Historic District includes 486 buildings,
sites and structures that reflect virtually every type of house that
was common in Georgia as well as commercial, government and
community landmark buildings.
Residences represent 75% of the
historic district. Many are
bungalows and American Small
Houses dating from the early to
mid-20th century. Industrial
buildings include structures
related to agricultural processing
and storage near rail-related
transportation facilities.
During the early years
in Waynesboro’s history, the
town evolved around agriculture.
Burke County agriculture focused
on livestock and other crops until
the invention of the cotton gin in
1793. By the 19th century, the
major cash crop was cotton, and
this directly impacted growth in

Revival-style. It was constructed in 1908. Photo by James R. Lockhart
the African-American population. The enslaved population in Burke
County grew from 2,403 in 1790 to 5,904 in 1820 as cotton emerged
as a major economic engine. During this period, the white population
declined while larger plantations, in order to meet the demand for
cotton, replaced small farms. By 1860, half of Waynesboro’s
residents were enslaved people, and by 1870, African Americans
had increased to 75% of Waynesboro’s total population. After the
Civil War, many freedmen migrated to the town to seek employment
as carpenters, masons and domestic workers.
Most of the African-American residences and community
landmark buildings are located in the northwest part of the historic
district. Some of the house types include small cottages, such as
hall parlors, central hallways and bungalows. A significant number
of African-American churches and schools are interspersed
throughout the historic district, along with social halls.
The Lone Star
Benevolent Society Hall is
one of the late 19th century
buildings in the AfricanAmerican community. It is a
wood-frame building with a front
gable and a hip-roofed bell
tower that dates to when the
Lone Star Benevolent Society
was organized in 1898. The
social hall will soon be adapted
for community use as the new
home of the Burke County Rural
and Folk Life Center.
Thankful Baptist
Church is located at the
intersection of Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard and 9th
Street. Towers are located on

both sides of the front façade of the brick building. Thankful Baptist
Church was organized in 1878, and the church had two fires in its
history. The current building was erected in 1923, but the church
maintains two cornerstones that document a previous building that
was destroyed by fire.
The Lone Star Benevolent Society Hall is a building that serves
the residents of the African-American community in Waynesboro.
These societies often provided burial insurance to families during
segregation. The hall is located near Thankful Baptist Church.

As Waynesboro’s African-American population grew, black
Baptists organized Thankful Baptist Church in 1878. The church
survived two fires, and this brick building was erected in 1923.

Aurora Lodge No. 54, Free and Accepted Masons, Prince
Hall Affiliate is located across the street from Thankful Baptist
Church. The two-story, brick building was constructed by 1956,
but the lodge was organized in 1883. The Masonic lodge meets on
the second floor of the building, while the bottom portion of the
building serves the community as a store.
Thomas Grove Baptist Church is located on 6th Street
across the street from the Confederate Memorial Cemetery. Two
towers of differing heights flank the front façade of the brick
building. Other distinguishing features are Gothic Revival-style
buttresses and pointed-arched windows. The towers were originally
open with supports for the steeply pitched roofs, but were covered
with synthetic siding in recent years. The Thomas Grove Baptist
Church was organized in 1870 and the present building was designed
by George Bunn and constructed in 1908.

Educational institutions for African Americans include the
former Waynesboro High and Industrial School that was built in
the 1920s. The school originally provided elementary education
and later expanded to an industrial high school that combined a
classic curriculum with home economics for girls and agriculture/
shop classes for boys. Waynesboro High and Industrial School
was the only school of its kind that served the African-American
community during the Jim Crow era, and the school continued that
function until 1955, when Waynesboro constructed new schools
for the black community.
As a response to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision
Brown v. Board in 1954, Waynesboro, like so many other Georgia
cities, began to construct new schools for African Americans that
were part of a concerted effort to resist school integration. These
schools were built with modern school technology to prove that
separate schools for the races were indeed “separate but equal”. In
1956, Waynesboro consolidated all African-American schools and
built a new campus of buildings that were constructed across the
street from the old industrial school. As school enrollment increased,
the campus added several new International-style buildings. A
series of covered walkways connect the buildings. When the Burke
County school system was integrated in 1970, the elementary school
became Blakeney Junior High School. The campus is still used by
the school system today.

n 1866, one year after the end of the Civil War, freedmen in Burke
County gathered to begin a church. Two years later, Haven
Academy, which functioned as a school and church site, was built.
The school grew, so the church constructed a building adjacent to
Haven Academy from 1888-1891. Haven Memorial Methodist
Episcopal Church, now called Haven-Munnerlyn United Methodist
Church, is located on Baron Street in Waynesboro. The church
was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 12,
1996. Haven Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church is also a
contributing resource in the Waynesboro Historic District.
Waynesboro High and Industrial School is a contributing resource in the
Waynesboro Historic District. The school building was constructed in
1920, and used as a school until 1955, when Blakeney Junior High replaced
it as the African American community school. Photo by James R. Lockhart
The congregation named their church in honor of Bishop
Gilbert Haven (1821-1880), the leading bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church northern branch. Bishop Haven supervised the
establishment of several religious and educational institutions
including the relocation of Clark College, now Clark Atlanta
University in Atlanta, Georgia. The first pastor, Rev. James Jackson,
sought support from residents in Waynesboro and Burke County
for the estimated $1,800 construction costs. The trustees and
members of Haven Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church rallied
together to obtain funding from various sources including the Board
of Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and the Col. W.E. Jones, an advisor to the church.
Haven Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church building is
an intact, wood-framed, mid-19th century, Gothic Revival-style
church. The architectural design is extraordinary compared to other
African -American churches of that time. The high- pitched, frontgabled sanctuary has smaller cross gables and a corner tower with
a front-gabled projecting entry. The enclosure consists of a brick
foundation with exterior walls made of wood weatherboarding,
painted white, and interior walls made of hand-grained wood
paneling on the lower wall and plaster above. Also, there are pointed
arch doors with stained glass windows. The church has a spacious
sanctuary with center aisle and pews on either side. The pulpit is
located on the western wall with an alcove lit by stained glass
windows and a balcony with hand-grained wooden railing exists
on the eastern wall. Notably, the Haven Church’s original details
include its plaster, vaulted ceiling, stained glass, pews and floors.
Although Haven Academy is no longer extant, there is a small
cemetery located on the 2 ½ acre site.
Haven Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church was constructed from 1888-
1891. The church building sits on raised piers and is a wood strcture with
Gothic-Revival design features and stained glass windows.

Haven Academy was absorbed into the Waynesboro High
and Industrial School in 1919. The existing school building is located
at the intersection of 9th and Walker streets in the African- American
community. It served the community until 1955 when new schools
were constructed.
African Americans were also active in the Civil Rights
Movement. Herman and Anna Lodge were community activists.
Herman Lodge filed a 1976 class action lawsuit, Lodge v. Buxton,
on behalf of African Americans in Burke County. The suit evolved
because the county’s at-large elections violated the First, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, as well as the
Voting Rights Act of 1965. The outcome of the suit resulted in
Burke County redistricting into five districts with each district being
represented by one commissioner. The case was appealed to the
U.S. Supreme Court as Rogers v. Lodge in 1982 and the court upheld
the redistricting that required commissioners to reside in and be
elected by residents in their districts. Once the new voting system
was in place, Herman Lodge and Woodrow Harvey became Burke
County’s first African –American commissioners in 1982.
In May 2009, the Historic Preservation Division joined
many Waynesboro residents in a community celebration of the
district as the 2,000th listing for Georgia. Division director Ray Luce
presented a National Register plaque and the Waynesboro Historic
Preservation Commission recognized local residents for preserving
their homes and businesses.

THREATENED BY DETERIORATION:
ONE-ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE IN HARRIS COUNTY
Denise Messick, National Register Historian
Historic Preservation Division
Bethlehem Baptist Church Colored School (circa 1900) in
Harris County was listed in the National Register of Historic
Places on December 30, 2008. Decades of deterioration are now
threatening the future of this one-room schoolhouse where African
American children in grades one through eight were educated in
the first half of the 20th century. Bethlehem Baptist Church, founded
in 1871, established the school on their property on a rural road in
the Pine Mountain Valley community. The building is a rare
surviving example of the type of facility that many Georgians once
attended during years of racial segregation.
The school is a simple 15-by-37-foot vernacular building
with unpainted weatherboard siding and a stone chimney topped
with bricks. Its foundation consists mostly of fieldstone piers,
underpinning the log sills. The building has one wood door on
front and three windows on each side. Tree saplings were used for
joists to support the gable roof. There were never electrical utilities
or plumbing in the building, and a fieldstone hearth is the only
evidence of a heat source. Two painted black walls served as
chalkboards. Four hand-made wood desk/bench combinations survive
as a reminder of the young students who once occupied them.
Historical documents and physical evidence point to a construction date of
circa 1900 or earlier for the Bethlehem Baptist Church Colored School in
Harris County. Photo by James R. Lockhart
Harris County School Board records for 1885 state that
the county had “48 white schools with 1,467 pupils” and “47 colored
schools with 2,404 pupils.” The Bethlehem school’s existence is
first mentioned in the 1901 board minutes. Bethlehem teachers
were qualified through the local school board, but the students and
teachers had to work under extreme hardship conditions with poor
facilities, materials, and transportation. By 1910 most schools for
African Americans still met in homes or churches, and less than 10
percent of the allocation for public education in Georgia was spent
on black schools. Teachers were paid less than in white schools,
and construction and maintenance funds were almost nonexistent.
Therefore, it fell upon African American communities and churches

to support education efforts. The one-room schoolhouse at
Bethlehem continued to be used until 1952 when new county schools
were constructed. A Harris County resident who attended
Bethlehem recalled that one teacher instructed all eight grades,
even in the later years.
DEVELOPING AN AFRICAN AMERICAN
HERITAGE GUIDE FOR GEORGIA
Leslie Breland, Marketing Programs Manager

Georgia, and especially Atlanta, have become the place to
not only visit but to make home. Generations have passed
and so many extended families are rethinking their move north
and returning to the South. Georgia is the leading destination
for African American tourists, conventioneers, and especially
family reunions. Georgia has deep roots. There is so much
history here, both global and personal.
Did you know? Georgia has the most Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)? Morehouse College, Spelman
College, Clark Atlanta University (uniting the former Clark College
and Atlanta University), Morehouse School of Medicine, Morris
Brown College, and the Interdenominational Theological Center
comprise the Atlanta University Center. Paine College in Augusta,
Documenting and researching the history of the school
was a labor of love for Bethlehem Baptist Church members Willie
and Gloria Brown. The couple prepared the National Register
nomination materials by rigorously searching though county school
board records and other sources. They hope that listing will bring
recognition that might lead to much-needed funding for the
schoolhouse’s stabilization. The building sits forlorn and seemingly
neglected under its partially collapsed roof. Members work hard to
keep the underbrush from taking over the building, but the
congregation has dwindled in size and has little money to devote to
restoration work. Yet the Browns persevere in their efforts to
find a viable future for the schoolhouse, possibly as a history
exhibit, to remind people to never take educational opportunities
for granted.

Atlanta is often
referred to as the “Black
Mecca.” There is no other
place where Black politics,
education, business, religion,
music and entertainment, and
of course, the Civil Rights
movement come together and
define a place. But this is not
limited to the Atlanta area.
Throughout the state of
Georgia, the African American
experience is rich with stories,
heritage and culture.
Albany State University, Fort Valley State University, and Savannah
State University are additional HBCUs. African American higher
education in Georgia dates back to 1867 when Morehouse
College was founded in the basement of Augusta’s Springfield
Baptist Church.

We at the Tourism Division of the Georgia Department of
Economic Development, wanted to do something else and ours would
be the “official” state publication. There had been earlier attempts
at creating an African American Heritage Guide but they were sparse
in content. We wanted to create a magazine that is a keeper. We
wanted book that shared stories, gave some background and made
the experience feel personal. We wanted a magazine that people
would keep on their coffee table or in their library. One they could
and would refer back to over and over. Our book had to be relevant.
Nothing is done in a vacuum. We wanted the input from
those who experienced the history as well as the current movers
and shakers in their various disciplines. We wanted good writers
who could tell their own Georgia story. We wanted historians who
could dig up little known history and make it compelling. We wanted
a look and feel that would stand out among other magazines. We
also knew that it’s hard to be all things to all people, so we had to
function in the land of reality and costs.

just that, a listing. Each

BASKET CREEK CEMETERY: AN AFRICAN AMERICAN TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTY
Cemeteries are significant landmarks that reflect the shared
cultural practices that bind people into communities. Sometimes
the funerary rituals of a particular cemetery persist from one
generation to the next forging a deep-rooted connection between
the deceased and their descendants. The Basket Creek Cemetery is
located approximately two miles northwest of the Chattahoochee
River south of State Highway 166 in south Douglas County. Found
in 1886, the site contains 110 known burials of African-American
members of the Basket Creek Baptist Church. While thousands of
cemeteries exist in Georgia, Basket Creek is distinctive because of
its exceptional and rare grave mounds.
Endsley (a.k.a. Ensley) family were slaves held in bondage on farms
located in the area. After the Civil War members of the Endsley
family purchased land and helped develop a local lumber industry.
During the early 20th century, members of the Endsley family migrated
west to Los Angeles, California, and north to places such as Detroit,
Michigan, in search of work and to escape Georgia’s racist Jim
Crow laws. By the middle of the 20th century this rural black
community had diminished in size considerably due to migration.

River was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on

 Grave mounding is a type of funerary ritual that was introduced
in Georgia by slaves from West Africa during the late 18th century.
The practice had largely disappeared statewide by the mid-20th
century as many rural Southern black communities were dispersed
nationally during periods of migration. Each one-foot high
triangular-shaped mound runs the length of the grave between the
headstone and footstone. The mounding ritual involves forming
and continually maintaining sculpted red-clay mounds to
perpetually commemorate the life of the deceased.
Mourners begin the ritual by scraping red clay soil onto
the grave from its perimeter. Next, a hoe is used to mound the loose
material. Finally, a metal file is used to hone the mound’s sides to
create a pointed top. Those involved in this custom see a poorly
maintained mound as an insult to their ancestors as well as a bad
reflection upon the local community’s association with its heritage.
The constant erosion of the mounds caused by exposure and
settling, therefore, necessitates the routine observance of this
process and its transference from one generation to the next. This
funerary ritual has been observed at Basket Creek Cemetery on
at least a biannual schedule under the supervision of the
cemetery’s presentation team—comprised primarily of
contemporary church members and the descendants of the
deceased—for the last 123 years.
Basket Creek Cemetery is the last remaining vestige of a
turn-of-the-20th-century African-American community located in
south Douglas County. This rural black community consisted of
single-family houses, saw mills, tenant farms, and churches situated
within an area along the Chattahoochee River. Ancestors of the
Members of the Basket Creek Baptist Church preserve the 110 burials in
the cemetery by performing a mounding ritual biannually with descendants
of the deceased. Photo by James R. Lockhart
Basket Creek Cemetery’s continuous association with the
Basket Creek Baptist Church and the persistence of the remaining
descendants has preserved a funerary ritual that has virtually
disappeared in Georgia due to evolving funerary customs within
African-American churches and the geographic relocation of many
black families that occurred throughout the 20th century. Similar
extant examples of grave mounding in African-American cemeteries
have been documented in Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas.
The funerary ritual of grave mounding has Trans-Atlantic origins
linked to West African spiritual beliefs that predate the establishment
of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Basket Creek Cemetery is the
only extant example of grave mounding documented in Georgia
to date.
The grave mounding ritual is based upon West
African spiritual beliefs. Photo by James R. Lockhart

Harriet Powers was born
enslaved on October 29,
1837 near Athens, Georgia.
Although Powers could not
read or write, she created story
quilts that represented Bible
stories and historical events.
Powers lived on a plantation in
Madison County owned by
John and Nancy Lester where
young girls commonly learned
to sew from other slaves.
In 1886, Powers
exhibited her first quilt at the
Clarke County Cotton Fair.
This quilt combined two
techniques including the West African appliqué and European
stitching. This colorful quilt used 299 pieces of fabric organized in
a storyboard layout of eleven panels. The quilt portrayed Bible
stories including Jacobs Ladder, a favorite among slaves because
they lived a similar struggle of a man on a long, weary journey and
the ladder suggested escape to freedom from slavery.

Fine Arts in Boston and is cited at

Jennie Smith, who was an art teacher at the Lucy Cobb
Institute, a young women’s school that existed in Athens, Georgia
from 1859-1931, discovered Powers’ quilt at the fair. Jennie treasured
the colors and valued the piece enough to record Powers’ detailed
explanation of the eleven panels and entered it into the 1895 Cotton
States and International Exposition in Atlanta. Likewise, faculty
wives from Atlanta University admired the quilt and commissioned
another narrative quilt with 15 panels depicting Bible stories and
natural events such as the November 13, 1833 “Night of Falling
Stars” (Leonid Meteor Storm). Powers did not create her quilts for
monetary gain. She initially turned down Jennie Smith’s offer to
purchase the eleven-panel piece. However, during a time of financial
difficulty, Powers eventually sold the quilt to Smith.
Only two of Power’s quilts have survived. The elevenpanel Bible story quilt is among the permanent collection of the
National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution.
Powers’ other quilt is exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Harriet Powers died on January 1, 1910, and her gravesite is located
in Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery in Athens, Georgia. This historic African
American cemetery was listed in the National Register of Historic
Places on April 19, 2006.
Notably, there are books that feature her quilts and a play,
“Quilting in the Sun”, on her life. Harriet Powers received
posthumous recognition for her contributions to Georgia history
when she was inducted as a 2009 Georgia Women of Achievement
honoree. If you would like to nominate someone who has left a
permanent legacy to Georgia history, visit the Georgia Women of
Achievement website: http://www.georgiawomen.org/nomhow_to_nominate.html. The deadline for 2010 applications is
October 1, 2009.
The Bible Quilt was completed around 1886 in Athens.

The Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network (GAAHPN)
was established in January 1989. It is composed of representatives from
neighborhood organizations and preservation groups. GAAHPN was formed
in response to a growing interest in preserving the cultural and ethnic diversity of
Georgia’s African American heritage. This interest has translated into a number of
efforts which emphasize greater recognition of African American culture and
contributions to Georgia’s history. The GAAHPN Steering Committee meets regularly
to plan and implement ways to develop programs that will foster heritage education,
neighborhood revitalization, and support community and economic development.
The Network is an informal group of over 2,700 people who have an interest in
preservation. Members are briefed on the status of current and planned projects and are
encouraged to offer ideas, comments and suggestions. The meetings provide an
opportunity to share and learn from the preservation experience of others and to receive
technical information through workshops. Members receive a newsletter, Reflections,
produced by the Network. Visit the Historic Preservation Division website at
www.gashpo.org. Preservation information and previous issues of Reflections are
available online. Membership in the Network is free and open to all.
