Cullowhee (N.C.) -- Buildings, structures, etc.

The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was founded in 1892 by eleven former slaves. In 1929, the building and the surrounding property were sold to Cullowhee State Normal School for a sum of $3,200. The church was relocated to a nearby location and the school additionally paid for the relocation and reburial of the remains in the seventy-six graves on the property. Robertson Dormitory was built on the site of the church.
