Welcome to Old Stone Church

Built in 1802, the Old Stone Church stands as a remarkable testament to the history of Upstate South Carolina. From the simple elegance of the church’s sanctuary to the beautiful stacked-stone exterior, the church is cherished by the local community and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Buried within the church’s cemetery grounds are patriots, pioneers of industry and education, and soldiers, including such notable figures as Andrew Pickens and Robert Anderson. The Old Stone Church Commission is committed to preserving this rich history for generations to come.

Today, the church plays an active role in the greater Upstate community, hosting weddings, funerals, church services and other gatherings.
