Circular Congregational Church

Landmark

One of the oldest congregations in the south, organized in 1681. The current structure replaced one damaged in the Civil War, but the congregation's graveyard contains remains of Revolutionary War-era Charlestonians. The church was a center of Patriot sentiment before the occupation.
