Let Us Build A House

A special evening program, “Let Us Build A House,” will take place on Friday, February 28 at 6:30 p.m. at Galilee Baptist Church (4248 Old Courthouse Rd, Appomattox, VA). Beginning in 1865, freed Black residents of Appomattox County formed the first public school in Appomattox, followed by Galilee Baptist Church, the first African American church in the area.  Join park employees and community members as we celebrate Black history in Appomattox. Refreshments and conversation will be provided by Galilee Baptist Church following the presentation.
