Flint Hill Methodist Church was established in 1844, and its cemetery grew up around the congregation's original log meetinghouse near Hiram. In early October 1864, after the fall of Atlanta, troops under Confederate General John Bell Hood camped at this site as the armies moved north. The present church building dates to 1897, while the surrounding graveyard preserves the resting places of the community's earliest members.
