Needwood Baptist Church and School

Needwood Baptist Church and School are historic buildings (a church and a school) north of Brunswick, Georgia, along US 17. The oldest parts of the church date to the 1870s. The towers were added circa 1885 and contain a bell dated 1884. Thirty original pews and other original furnishings remain. The church is of no particular style, but is similar to many rural African-American churches. The school has one room and is of similar age and construction as the church. The school was used for African-American students until the 1960s. The church and school were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[2]
