Description
Zion is located 5 miles south of Orangeburg on U.S. Highway 301. It is believed to be one of the earliest Methodist churches in the area. The original building was constructed before the Civil War and replaced in the 1880s. In about 1843, appointed ministers replaced circuit riders. Early in the 1930s, Zion was abandoned as a full-time church when its members moved to nearby Cope and Orangeburg. Source: SCDAH
