When was the community, where Nicodemus National Historic Site is located, founded?
Nicodemus National Historic Site Nicodemus National Historic Site, located in Nicodemus, Kansas, United States, preserves, protects and interprets the only remaining western town established by African Americans during the Reconstruction Period following the American Civil War. The town of Nicodemus is symbolic of the pioneer spirit of African Americans who dared to leave the only region they had been familiar with to seek personal freedom and the opportunity to develop their talents and capabilities. The site was named, at least in part, for a legendary African-American slave featured in abolitionist Henry Clay Work's "Wake, Nicodemus (1864)." It is a mystical story of an old slave died away and buried in a hollow tree who had asked to be awakened on the Day of Jubilee.
Peachtree Baptist Church (Atlanta) Peachtree Baptist Church was founded in rural DeKalb County, Georgia, United States in the summer of 1847 by Bruce Jacobs. The church took its name from the location at the corner of Briarcliff and LaVista roads that was known by the mid-nineteenth century locals as the "peachtree bartering station" where the locals would gather on Saturdays to exchange goods. The intersection is midway between the north and south forks of Peachtree Creek.
