Fairforest Meeting

1.5 Miles SW stood the original
Fairforest Baptist Church. The
members led by the Reverend
Philip Mulkey came from North
Carolina to Broad River about
1759. In 1762 the Church moved
to Fairforest where as the first
Baptist Church in the up country
it established other churches.
During the American Revolution
it was in a Tory controlled area.
