Originally the home of Alpine Presbyterian Church, the Alpine Community Church in Menlo, Georgia, is located in the northwest Georgia mountains. The church was built in 1853. The cemetery contains markers that represent the long history of the church with a number of Victorian and more modern markers.
The school was built in 1914 and last used in the 1960s.
Tax records indicate this home was built in 1890.
Folk artist Howard Finster built Paradise Garden in Pennville, Georgia to share other creators’ work and his own. He is often considered one of the most prolific artists having made over 46,000 pieces of art. If you’re ever in north Georgia, it’s worth a visit. Since my visit in 2014, there has been significant restoration work. They’ve also added places on AirBnb for people to reserve.
