Hardaway Baptist Church
Originally named Ebenezer Baptist Church, the church was constructed at a location near Hardaway Cemetery sometime prior to 1880. Sometime between the years 1889 and 1893 the church was moved to where it sits today. Weekly services are no longer held. The church has since be recognized as an Alabama Historic Site and held annual Hardaway Baptist Church Reunions until around 2018.
