Behind a beauty salon in Cartersville sits a rare extant “urban” slave cabin. It was one of ten cabins that sat on the property of Elijiah and Cornelia Field.
After the Civil War, Vinnie Salters Johnson moved to Cartersville and cooked for the Fields family. She lived in this cabin with her son. It became the home of Vinnie Salters Johnson and her son, Cafaries Johnson.
The cabin was restored a few years ago after the roof and floor collapsed. The walls are original to the cabin.
The Allatoona Universalist Church was founded in 1910. It doubled as a school for the area until one was built closer to the train tracks.
Organized in 1872, this Cassville church began as a Presbyterian Church prior to the Civil War, but after the Civil War, the land and the church was given to Black families to start a new church.
The house started as a four room house in 1845 in Kingston, Georgia and was expanded upon in 1887. The home is now a private residence and event venue.
Founded in 1836, this is the second church building that the congregation has utilized.
Now known as the Noble Hill-Wheeler Memorial Center, this Rosenwald school was built in 1923 for the Black children of Bartow County. It closed in 1955 when schools were consolidated within the county. It now serves as a museum and community center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
