St. Matthew's Lutheran Church
Parent Lutheran Church of This Area
In 1737-38, the elder Rev. John U. Giessendanner
from Orangeburg began Lutheran work in this
area; this was continued by his nephew until 1749.
By the 1760s, St. Matthew's Lutheran Church near
here was in use. A later building erected at this site in 1826 was replaced by the present church in 1900.
Marker is on Old Number 6 Highway (State Highway 6) near Sherlock Road, on the left when traveling north.
