Description
This Church, founded in 1806 in what was Darlington District until Florence County was founded in 1888, grew out of an early Methodist "Society".
Reverend Thomas Humphries (d1820) who served this, and other area circuits, conducted the first service. In 1813 Dempsey Russell donated an acre to the congregation, which soon built a frame building as it's first permanent church. The church, often called Russell's Meeting House or Russell's Church for Russell Dempsey, changed it's name to Pisgah Methodist Church in 1840. It moved to a site a few miles West after the Civil War, but soon returned to this site and built a larger frame church in 1878-79. The present church, built in 1914, is a fine example of the Carpenter Gothic Architectural Style.
