Historic Macedonia AME Church
Recently the City of Oak Hill purchased the property at 222 Cummings Street for $65000. This parcel of land is home to the Historic Macedonia AME Church building.

A description provided by FLORIDA MEMORY, State Library and Archives of Florida, reads, “the WPA Church Record for Macedonia A.M.E. Church in Oak Hill, Volusia County, established in 1890. This African Methodist Episcopal church served a mainly African-American congregation, and was pastored at the time of the survey by W.L. Gainer.” Click here to view this description and learn more about some of the other churches that have made Oak Hill their home in the last century or so.

The Village Improvement Association (VIA) was formed in 1906 by trustees F.W. Hatch and H.J. Maugruder. In that same year, F.W. Hatch donated land located at 146 U.S. Highway #1, and the iconic octagonal building known as the VIA Hall was built on that site.
In 1917 Joan Howes donated a property located at 126 East Halifax to the Village Improvement Association (VIA). This property is where the building currently resides. The land was deeded to the “the people” and was never to be sold.
