Something. That’s the mystery behind Trinity Episcopal Church for some people. It attracts plenty of attention for its age and its history. But good luck trying to pin down why
Lecia Smith recently decided to take a drive around Ridgeland, not knowing where it would lead.
Now, Smith is helping Euhaw Baptist Church in its effort to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In our spare time, I like to explore local towns and look at historical architecture, said Smith, who lives in Okatie. We heard about a local restaurant there called Eats and Sweets and wanted to go there and came across Bees Creek Road and saw two beautiful churches there.
Smith said Holy Trinity Episcopal Church looked to have been kept up well, but Euhaw Baptist Church seemed to need an upgrade. She decided contact the Jasper County Chamber of Commerce to see if they could put her in touch with the Jasper County Historical Society. She eventually reached society president Steve Rountree.
