Saturday, March 5, 2011, I video captured the Historic Sheldon Church located in Beaufort, S.C. It is one of the United States first Greek Revival structures erected in 1745-1755. The church was burned down twice. First, in 1779 by a British detachment when they invaded the Lowcountry. The church was rebuilt in 1826. In 1865, it was burned down again by Sherman's Federal Army Men because it was believed the Southern Patriots were storing gun powder in the church. For more than 120 years, Sheldon Church has laid in ruins minus its gable roof, pediment, windows, and interior. Notice when the Sun beams directly over this Church it appears as though lights are on inside. Hand Water Pump - still works, Landscape - Large-Shady Live Oak Trees draped with Spanish Moss, One Live Oak is filled with stone blocks to save the tree? Picnic Tables Thank you for watching my video :) Video filmed by: YouTuber ln4359
