Mt. Nebo Church
Nottoway County – One of the 53 sites along the Civil Rights in Education Heritage Trail®, Mt. Nebo Church was founded shortly after the Civil War in 1867. A northerner named Mr. Rickets bought the place called Oak Hill and began preaching to a group of African Americans at this place in the woods. The audience increased as people from the surrounding communities came to hear him. They built a brush arbor under which to worship. As the crowd grew larger, Mr. Rickets gave the congregation one acre of land on which they built a log church and named it Mt. Nebo.
