Historical Places to Visit

After a dining experience, you won’t forget, maybe you should take a different approach to Greenville and get to know a little bit about African-American Church history in this city. Greenville history is rooted in church establishments and creating new places to hold meetings before and after the Civil War. John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church is one place of worship that is known for its history and is a sacred piece of Greenville, SC. Built-in 1899, Rev. Rosemand leaves behind his legacy after the Civil War by creating a sanctified place for those in need. With John Wesley Methodist Church being one of the earliest establishments built by Rosemand is surely the reason for a true Black Southern Belle to visit this lighthouse in the heart of Greenville.
