Chattooga County Historical Society Invites Public to Winter Meeting at Historic Oak Hill Missionary Baptist Church

The Chattooga County Historical Society is inviting the community to its Winter Meeting at 2:00 PM next Sunday, February 8, 2026, with a special program recognizing Black History Month.

The meeting will be held at the historic Oak Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Gore (turn on the first road past Hunter Furniture). Featured speaker Samuel Mosteller—a Chattooga High School Class of 1977 graduate, Retired Army Major, pastor, and principal—will share research focused on the Holland/Chattoogaville area and the Finley Plantation, including history tied to the property where the house still stands today. The group also noted a historic image from the 1870 census connected to the topic.

The event is free, and all are invited to attend.
