Built in 1838 initially as the summer church of the Coosawatchie Baptist Church, the Gillisonville Baptist Church is a historic place in Gillisonville, South Carolina. The congregation members of the Euhaw congregation built the structure so they can escape the heat and mosquitoes of the summer months.
The Gillisonville Baptist Church only got its name a few years after the establishment of the Coosawatchie Baptist Church. In 1885, it was renamed. The Greek Revival style church was able to survive the Civil War Years, but was marked by a ?Yankee Soldier? when the troops of General William Tecumseh Sherman visited the church in 1865.
The Gillisonville Baptist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 1971.
