Description
Built between 1880 and 1900, Reaves Chapel is the oldest AME church in the area and was established by former slaves of the Cedar Hill Plantation in Brunswick County, North Carolina after the Civil War. It is believed that the building was relocated to its current site in the early 1900s via the use of oxen and logs. The church has been abandoned for several years. Today a group of locals hopes to preserve it along with their Gullah-Geechee heritage.
