SC-35-7 Bennettsville Methodist Church

The first Methodist house of worship in Marlboro County was at Beauty Spot, two miles north of here, where in 1788 Bishop Asbury attended a meeting. By 1834, the first church in town had been built here on 1 1/2 acres of land donated by W.J. Cook. A second building was erected about 1871. The present church dates from 1900 and was extensively renovated and improved during 1955 and 1956.
