Constructed in the 1840s and constituted in 1852, Ramah Baptist Church stands in the community formerly known as both Ramah and Vaughn. Records show that Solomon G. and Francis T. Burke gave the land for both the church and cemetery in 1857. The congregation was ruled with strict and rigid discipline that could lead to the exclusion of members who fell short of the church's exacting standards. The interior arrangement reflected this strict attitude, including separate entrances for men and women and a wooden bar dividing the central pews to keep them apart. In 1869, 171 African-American members voted to be dismissed from the congregation, and Ramah Baptist Church helped construct Nero Baptist Church for these former members. The cemetery behind the church continues the community's history; its oldest headstone dates from February 23, 1821, and five Confederate soldiers are buried there, including four Weaver brothers who were all killed in battle. In 1963, a group of 25 people formed the Ramah Church Memorial Association to preserve the church and cemetery, electing George H. Adams as president, Ollie L. Johnson, Sr., as first vice president, John Robert Gary as second vice president, Mrs. Jessie E. Cobb as secretary, and Ms. Katie Mae Taylor as treasurer. An annual church service, dinner on the grounds, and business meeting is held each fourth Sunday in June for the family and friends of former members. The church is important for its religious history and architectural significance as an excellent example of a rural, one-room church that retains a high degree of historic integrity and was listed in the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on December 15, 2011.
