In 1874, Father Theodore Butler purchased a home and a lot in Augusta, Georgia, for $10,000.00 to construct a building to be used as a church for the Catholic population and a school for children of all denominations. A simple Victorian structure served as a temporary facility for the church until work could begin on a larger, more significant building for the group. The first bricks were laid for Sacred Heart Church in 1897 and the church opened with the first service on December 2, 1900. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building features towering twin spires, graceful arches, fifteen distinctive styles of brickwork, ninety-four stained glass windows, a barreled vaulted ceiling, and intricately carved Italian marble altars. Unfortunately, due to a number of factors, the last mass was held in Sacred Heart on July 3, 1971.

Twin Oaks Vineyard, previously Meinhardt Vineyards, has been purchased by a local Bulloch County native. The property has been transformed into a wedding and event venue. While the winery equipment has been sold the vineyard is still in tact and adds a beautiful setting for any event. The property has several old, gorgeous oaks, a pond, two buildings, a large outdoor area, outdoor lighting and plenty of space for an event of any size.
