== Notable Landmarks == === Bishop Cemetery === The Bishop Cemetery, a historic resting place for many of the town's founding families and long-time residents, reflects the town's deep-rooted history and connection to its past. Gravestones dating back over a century bear witness to the lives of Bishop's early inhabitants, and the cemetery is frequently visited by locals who seek to honor the town's history. It stands as a peaceful and contemplative space, capturing Bishop's respect for its heritage. === Bishop Town Well === The Bishop Town Well is another cherished landmark, representing an era when wells were vital community gathering spots. Although no longer in use, the well serves as a historical reminder of Bishop's place along the railroad, when a well was required in order for the railroad company to build a depot. Today, it stands as a symbol of the town's self-sustaining roots and community resilience. === Bishop Town Hall === The Bishop Town Hall is the central hub for local governance, reflecting the town's dedication to maintaining a close-knit community. It houses the offices of the mayor and town council, where they manage civic responsibilities, organize town meetings, and address residents' needs. The building itself, a historical home, represents the town's commitment to fostering a small, engaged community through local governance. === Bishop Community Center === Once one of Bishop's first churches, the Bishop Community Center is a vital space for gatherings, celebrations, and town events. It was the original location of the Oconee County Senior Center, hosting various activities for older residents of the county. === Bishop Historic District and Marker === The Bishop Historic District encompasses several structures from the town's early days, with architecture in Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. This district includes historic homes, former commercial buildings, and churches that reflect the town's early 20th-century growth. Walking through the district, visitors can see well-preserved buildings that paint a picture of Bishop's agricultural and community-centered history. The historic district is memorialized with a bronze historic marker, located by the Town Well. These landmarks collectively highlight Bishop's historical, cultural, and civic heritage, fostering a sense of pride and continuity among residents while inviting visitors to appreciate the town's legacy.
