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.
