This wonderful Episcopal Church was built in 1860 and still regularly holds services each Sunday and Wednesday. The steeple on this church is 125 feet tall which skies well above downtown Abbeville. A very well kept garden, mature magnolia trees, and a cemetery that predates the church is also on the property. The pews and organ are original to 1860. The church was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1971.

Also as a bonus, this church is haunted... Yes, according to the book, Ghost of South Carolina - Midlands, it talks about it being haunted

"Other Abbeville County haunts include Trinity Episcopal Church - a lady named Elizabeth, who died at the time of the Civil War, is buried in the church cemetery and has been both seen and heard inside the sanctuary"
