Rocky Swamp Methodist Church and Cemetery
Rocky Swamp Methodist Episcopal Church was among the first Methodist congregations in this part of S.C. A meeting house on one acre was here by 1809. A Methodist campground may have predated the construction of the first meeting house.
Another 20 acres were purchased in 1828. A second church was thought to have been built around that time. It burned in 1859. The current meeting house was built c. 1860. The modest structure and its nearby cemetery, with more than 300 interments, are visible reminders of the families and individuals who once lived here.
