Old First Baptist Church
1644 Hwy. 174, Edisto Island
This church, dedicated in 1818, is historically significant as a church founded by a woman, Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend, and as an integral part of black history. Baptists had worshipped on Edisto since 1686, but there was no church. In 1811, she obtained the original church site and erected the building. In the late 1860s the trustees turned it over to the black members who have operated it continuously to date.

Presbyterian Church on Edisto Island
2164 Hwy. 174, Edisto Island
This is the oldest congregation in continuous existence in South Carolina. The current sanctuary was constructed in 1830, replacing the original building erected in 1710. By the early 1800s, Edisto planters began to accumulate unimaginable wealth thanks to the production of Sea Island cotton. Worship was an integral part of their lives, hence when they began to prosper, that prosperity was reflected in a new church of Classic Greek Revival architecture. This structure has survived enemy occupation and hurricanes and is considered one of the most beautiful churches in the Lowcountry. It has a large graveyard with many fine monuments dating from 1785.
