Regarding Culleoka Methodist Church. Excerpt from the National Register listing:
The congregation, established in the early part of the nineteenth century, builtthe church in 1838 and moved it to its present location in 1868. That same year the Culleoka Institute was established in the basement of the church. Two years later William R.

Classes were held in the Culleoka Methodist Episcopal Church South until 1876 when a new school was built.
