Sam Jones Memorial Methodist Church
This old church building is in the heart of Cartersville, GA named in honor of local preacher Sam Jones. Today their old sanctuary is on the National Register of Historic Places.
For those of you with Nashville connections, like me, Sam Jones came to Nashville to preach in 1885 and converted riverboat captain Tom Ryman. Ryman later built Union Gospel Tabernacle which later became the famous music venue Ryman Auditorium.
