ORANGE COUNTY AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES
In February 2012, the Orange County African American Historical Society created an exhibit at the Art Center of Orange to celebrate the long history of churches in our county. Ruth Mallory Long spent several months compiling histories of various churches in the county. In addition to the exhibit, she produced a detailed document combining all of these church histories into a single tome. To download the history of African American Churches in Orange County, CLICK HERE.
The map below shows the location of the churches described in the history written by Ruth Mallory Long
