The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church of Gillespie County serves as both a historical and spiritual hub, offering valuable insights into the lives of African Americans in the region during the late 1800s to early 1900s. This church is not only a place of worship but also a testament to the resilience and contributions of the African American community in Gillespie County.

​

In partnership with the church, our Foundation developed an informative sign that enhances visitor engagement. This sign features a QR code that viewers can scan to view insightful information about the church's history, its significance in the community and the stories of those who worshipped there. This initiative aims to foster a greater appreciation for this historic site and its role in shaping local heritage.
