Hebron Church, Cemetery, and Academy
Hebron Church, Cemetery, and Academy, Historic religious site in Commerce, Georgia, United States
The white frame structure features a traditional double entrance design with an enclosed porch extending across three sides of the building.
The Presbyterian congregation, established in 1796 by Scotch-Irish settlers and Revolutionary War veterans, received land grants from the Georgia State Legislature.
The Hebron Academy, operating from 1819 to 1933, educated numerous local children and became a center for education in Banks County.
The church building, renovated in 1988, now functions as both a religious center and a fellowship hall available for community gatherings.
During early services, congregants brought rifles and posted sentries due to the site's location near Cherokee territory in the Georgia backcountry.
