    03.04.09 | Community Freedom's Hill Church

    Southern Wesleyan University Chaplain Ken Dill relates the history of Freedom’s Hill Church to representatives from the S.C. Department of Commerce who toured the university’s campus in Central on Feb. 23.

    The busload of more than 50 representatives were participating in the department’s annual Rural Summit, designed to find ways for the state’s rural communities to make their areas more attractive for business development. The group took part in the “rolling classroom,” exploring part of the National Heritage Corridor.

    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.
