Old Wappetaw Church

 

Congregationalists from New England

built a church near here around 1700.

Troops from both sides camped on the

grounds during the American Revolution.

Burned by the British in 1782, it was

rebuilt in 1786.

The building was abandoned during

the Civil War and its members organized

Presbyterian churches in Mount Pleasant

and McClellanville.

Marker is on Ocean Highway (U.S. 17) 0.1 miles north of 15 Mile Landing Road (South Carolina Route 10-584), on the right when traveling south.
