Richland Baptist Church was constituted on Oct. 5, 1811, with four male and eight female members, and its first pastor was Rev. Micajah Fulghum. In June 1861, the women of the church made and presented a Confederate flag to the Twiggs Guard, and Mrs. Isolene Minter Wimberley made the presentation to Sgt. Warren, color bearer of Co. I, 6th Georgia Regiment. During the war, the women gathered in the church to prepare first aid kits. Regular services ended in 1911, and the Richland Restoration League, Inc., was organized in 1928 to preserve this "Landmark of Christianity."
