The Old Stone Church stands as one of the most interesting historical attractions in the Upstate. According to the legend, stones were gathered by farmers from their fields while women took sand in their aprons, to build the church. It was built in 1797 on land donated by printer John Miller, and was the second structure built by the religious community. In the 1960s, the church was completely restored. To complete the restoration, it was necessary to take the church apart stone by stone and rebuild the entire structure. The present building is used for special services, and the Cemetery is still used be many upstate families and members of the two Presbyterian churches. The Church is used for weddings year round. It usually sees at least one wedding a week, for the entire year, and reservations have to be made a year in advance.
