Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church

Montgomery County was one of several counties in the state with settlements formed by Exodusters, Southern blacks migrating North in search of a better life. The Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, constructed in 1907, was the second church built by the congregation that settled here in the late 1870s. (NRHP)
