"All That's Left of Buford's Bridge, S.C.
Mizpah Methodist Church
Historic Church near the junction of highways 301 and 321
is all that's
left of a once thriving town. The church, built in 1832, was the
only building unburned by Gen. Sherman on his march to the sea during
the
War Between the States. Buford's Bridge once boasted a post
office,
Masonic Lodge, boarding house, shoe shop, tailor shop, three stores and
a thickly populated neighborhood."

Church, July 8, 2003.
