Rodney Presbyterian Church, Federal architecture church in Jefferson County, Mississippi.
The church features red brick construction with an octagonal bell tower, rounded arches, and a stepped gable on its two-story structure.
Built between 1829 and 1832 on land donated by plantation owner David Hunt, the church became a focal point during the Civil War.
The building represents the architectural and religious development of Mississippi during the early nineteenth century within the Rodney Center Historic District.
Located near the former Mississippi River port, the structure maintains open doors for visitors despite its current state of preservation needs.
A cannonball impact mark remains visible on the front wall from an 1863 incident when Union forces fired upon the church during a service.
