In the USGS Geographic Names Information System, it is called McPhersonville Church. It was built about 1833. It is one block north of Pocotaglio Road (State Highway 25-17) on State Highway 25-286. The chapel is only antebellum structure in McPhersonville. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 2002.〔 ==History== In 1743, a group of local residents established a non-Anglican Stoney Creek church near the unincorporated community of Pocotaligo on Pocotaglio River. The minister was William Hutson, who was a disciple of George Whitefield. In 1785, this was incorporated as the Independent Presbyterian Chapel of Prince William Parish. Before the Civil War, many rice-planters from Prince William Parish built summer homes on McPhersonville, which was then in Beaufort District. This enabled them to stay at somewhat higher ground during the hotter months of summer with malaria-bearing mosquitoes. In 1832, some planters set aside about for the construction of a summer chapel.〔〔 The chapel was used as hospital and campsite by the Union Army. The parent Stoney Creek Presbyterian Church on the Pocotaligo River was dismantled for use in the construction of a bridge and other structures.〔〔 After the war, the congregation used the summer chapel in McPhersonville.〔 The congregation eventually diminished and was dissolved in 1967. The chapel was assigned under the custody of the First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort.〔 It was used as a filming location in 1993s ''Forrest Gump''. It stood in for the Four Square Baptist Church where Gump prays with the choir for shrimp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Forrest Gump film locations )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stoney Creek Independent Presbyterian Chapel of Prince William Parish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
