News of the Commencement of Restoration at the Historic Horn's Creek Baptist Church, Edgefield SC

I was so happy to hear from Clarice Wise of Edgefield, descendant of Samuel Walker and Martha Jefferson Bell, that the Edgefield Historic Society has been granted a loan to begin work on the restoration and preservation of the Historic Horn's Creek Baptist Church in Edgefield, SC.  As most of you undoubtedly know, Samuel Walker was one of the sponsor's of the incorporation of the Church in 1790.  This restoration project is something many have been hoping for over the last years.

I have included below a copy of the Society's Newsletter with the details of the plans for caretaker, fence, alarms, and surveillance cameras at the site.  Their plans sound so wonderful.   I hope that some or many of you will want to contribute to the Society for this special project.

There are also plans for a special Spring Meeting of the Society on the Grounds of the Church.  The plans are detailed in the green flyer below.  I have also included a Membership Application for the Society.  If you can't read or print the materials, please check their website at:  http://www.historicedgefield.com/  or send them an email at info@historicedgefield.com
