The Meeting House
On December 22, 1801, one acre on the north side of Bear Swamp was deeded for the use of the Baptist Society. Local tradition says that the meeting house which stood on this tract was built in 1780s and was used as a camp site by travelers between Fayetteville and Georgetown. In 1831, the Baptist Society was constituted as Bear Swamp Church.
Marker is on Bear Swamp Road (Local Road 17-56) south of State Highway 41, on the right when traveling south.
