The Wandering Church

Record #:
17254
Abstract:
In 1874 the Methodist community of Swan Quarter in Hyde County, tired of meeting in various places each Sunday, decided to build a church. They chose a lot, but the owner would not sell it. The Methodists then build outside town and dedicated their church on September 16, 1876. Little did the church members know, but a hurricane was approaching. It struck the night of the dedication, set the church afloat, and deposited it on the lot that the owner had refused to sell the church.
