Euhaw Baptist Church
[Marker Front]:
Established on Edisto Island about
1686 by Scotch dissenters, this
is the second oldest Baptist
organization in the South. For
many years a branch of First
Baptist Church in Charleston, Euhaw
declared itself a seperate church
in 1745 after relocating to this
vicinity from Edisto Island. A
sanctuary was built 6 mi. NE
[Marker Reverse]:
in 1751; it burned in 1857.
The first sanctuary on this site was
built in 1860. It burned in 1904 and
was replaced by the sanctuary in
1906, which is still used for
occasional services. The present
sanctuary nearby was built in 1982.
