Flint Hill Baptist Church
Flint Hill Baptist Church is a historic Southern Baptist church in Flint Hill, Rappahannock County, Virginia. The original section was built in 1854 and expanded and remodeled in the 1890s in the Late Victorian style. The original section is a one-story, gable-roofed, frame-and-weatherboard rectangular structure. Later additions are the front entrance tower topped with a belfry and Sunday school rooms to the rear. It features six stained-glass windows. Also on the property is the contributing church cemetery. Among those buried in the churchyard is Confederate Private Albert Gallatin Willis, one of Mosby's Rangers and a seminarian who offered himself for execution in the place of a married comrade-in-arms; the grave is noted with a marker in the Civil War Trails series.
