Pickens County leadership group tours SWU

    06.03.09 | Community Freedom's Hill Church

    Southern Wesleyan University religion professor Bob Black relates the history of Freedom’s Hill Church to participants in the Leadership Pickens County program who toured the university’s campus in Central recently. 

    The group also visited the university’s new Newton Hobson Chapel and Fine Arts Center, home to Southern Wesleyan University’s fine arts series and other community events.

    Freedom’s Hill Church is a historical structure that was a key site for those who stood in opposition to slavery. Originally built in the Snow Camp community of what is now Alamance County, N.C., and dedicated in March 1848, Freedom’s Hill was relocated to the Southern Wesleyan University campus in 1999.
