The beautiful sanctuary you see below was built in 1870, and is one of the oldest African American churches in rural Georgia. The Gothic Revival style church is unique in its architecture as well as its history. The church is located in a southeastern part of Floyd County in the historic community of Chubbtown, established by the Chubb family, a free black family that migrated there in the late 1850s. The church sits on one acre of land deeded by Henry Chubb and his brothers on August 8, 1870 to the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church for $200. Another acre of land was donated by Alfred Chubb in 1950 for a parking lot. The church is the only surviving structure of the original town and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The history of Chubb Chapel and, in fact Chubbtown itself, should be seen within the context of the Chubb family history, dating back to at least 1775 according to the National Register.
