Midway Congregational Church DSC_0206_edited-1
in Midway, Georgia. The church was founded here in 1752. This building was erected in 1792 to replace the original which was burned by the British in the American Revolutionary War. The church was occupied by General John Kilpatrick's Union Cavalry during Sherman's March to the Sea but was left standing. Two signers of the Declaration of Independence were members: Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett. Both blacks and whites attended the same services in the church although the blacks sat in the balcony. The church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
