Lynchburg Presbyterian Church and Cemetery
Marker front:
This church was organized in 1855 by 21 charter members who met in the nearby Methodist church. This Greek Revival church, built of hand-hewn pine and featuring galleries on either side, was built that year with the help of their neighbors.
Rev. W.W.Wilson, a native of Ireland served as its first pastor.
Marker reverse:
This church is one of the few buildings still standing from the original town of Lynchburg. When the railroad was built one mile north in 1854 and that area was renamed Lynchburg, this community became South Lynchburg. The church and cemetery were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
Marker is on Lynchburg Highway (South Carolina Route 341) west of Black Swamp Road (County Road 101), on the right when traveling west.
