Shiloh AME

Galveston Island, Texas

Shiloh A.M.E. Church is a African Methodist Episcopal church in Galveston, TX
In 1870, Peter Burns, Solomon Riley and William Davis, trustees for the congregation that had been meeting in private homes, purchased the land at 1310 29th Street.
Church buildings at the site had been destroyed by hurricanes in 1894 and 1900. The present structure was built in 1923 after the former building weakened.
In 1971 it became the first African American church in Texas to be awarded a state historical marker.
