St. Stephen's Episcopal Church – Historic Carpenter Gothic Landmark in Milledgeville

St. Stephen s Episcopal Church – Historic Carpenter Gothic Landmark in Milledgeville St. Stephens Episcopal Church Historic Heartland Milledgeville

Built in 1843, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church is rich in Southern history. The beautiful new church was constructed in the Carpenter Gothic Style, matching nicely with the nearby State Capital Building. On November 11, 1864, General Sherman's troops inflicted heavy damage on the beautiful structure during the "March to the Sea." The pews were burned for firewood, horses were stabled in the structure, the building was ransacked, and the soldiers even poured molasses down the pipes of the organ. The worst of the damage was caused when the ammunition and gunpowder in the nearby armory was ignited. Despite this, the church survived. The original flat roof was replaced with the Georgian-style roof and narthex, but the building itself was saved and repaired. The beautiful old church is part of historic Statehouse Square. Tours are available only through the Trolley Tour. Call (478) 452-4687 for a tour schedule.

It was the year of 1655 and the foreman Bonifacio Rojas lost a cow that he found later at the Santiago knoll. By the time he found it, it was already late at night and Rojas had to choose a place to make a bonfire to wait for the dawn. However, the next day Bonifacio Rojas was shocked when he saw that under the ashes there was melted silver. For not losing the
