Alpine Community Church, Church building in Georgia, United States
Alpine Community Church is a church building in Menlo located at the intersection of Highway 337. The structure features traditional architectural design with two separate front entrance doors and continues to serve its congregation.
The building was originally established as Alpine Presbyterian Church in 1853 and served as a medical facility for Union forces during the American Civil War. This dual use as both house of worship and wartime hospital shaped its past.
The church structure includes a specific loft area above the entrance that was designated for enslaved individuals who attended religious services.
The congregation holds regular worship services on Sunday mornings throughout the year. Visitors should check ahead for any specific access conditions or seasonal schedules.
Behind the church lies a cemetery containing the grave of Hugh Montgomery, marked with a historical sign identifying him as the Last Indian Agent. This burial site documents a lesser-known connection between this location and the region's relations with Native Americans.
