The Wrightsboro Methodist Church is located on a small hill overlooking the site that in 1754, Edmund Grey, founded the Quaker town of Brandon. The first meeting house would have been constructed at about this time, and some records show that two buildings were built and burned before the church now standing was constructed. The current structure was built between 1810 and 1812 by the selling of public subscriptions and land.
Ancestors of prominent Georgia families are buried at Wrightsboro Methodist, including the ancestors of Asa G. Candler – founder of the Coca-Cola Company and mayor of Atlanta from 1916 to 1919. An early Quaker burial ground is about a mile east of this church on a hill overlooking a small creek. Only rough field stones mark the graves.
