Boykin SC

Swift Creek Baptist Church in Boykins
Establish in 1787


When we were on our way to Charleston  last week we stopped by the small Town of Boykin SC which is only about 5 miles or so south of Camden SC.  This isn't all that far from Lancaster were I was born and now lived.  Why I never heard of this place before I don't know but it has one event that happen a long time ago that is very significant. He happens to be where the last battle of the civil war is though to have been. It took place 9 days after the surrender of general Lee army in virginia. Wether it was the last battle or not it was at least one of the last battles.
 Inside of Swift Creek Baptish chruch. The building is in very good shape for a church that is that old. We were able to see the inside of the church and I took a few pictures of it.
 Some fo the buldings in Boykin. Boykin has a old timey grits mill, A broom maker which sells old timey brooms, but be prepare to wait if youi want one. There is waiting list of a year or more to get one. Two restaurants I didn't get to eat there but the food did look so good I plan one returning there to eat. A few other business as well.
 A cover bridge, didn't know there was one in South Carolina.
This one of the restaurants in Boykins.,arbecue is there  specialty. It has only been open about a month but I got there to early to eat. However it is a unique place and I want to go back soon to eat there.

Boykins is out in the boondocks but it a wonderul place to vist. I plan on going again soon. I also plan on riding my bicycle on the road is it located on. It looks like it would be a great senic road to ride on.
