New
Holland Crossroads,
Aiken County, S.C.
On
S.C. Route 39 in rural eastern Aiken County, is a little crossroads
a ways east of I-20 and south of the North Fork of the Edisto River.
Right down the road a short distance is a Mennonite Church.
For those of you who wonder where that might be at,

Batesburg,
Lexington County, S.C.
Keep
rolling north and west from New Holland, and one crosses into the
western fringes of Lexington County. Batesburg is a town that
grew into and combined with Leesburg, in a kinda-similar but much
smaller scale than Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Nice small
town.
Salem
Presbyterian Church,
Eastern Sumter County, S.C.
Not
too far off U.S. Highway 378 east of Sumter on S.C. Route 527 is the
Salem Presbyterian Church. While the original church here pre-dates
the American Revolution, the current church dates back to the 1850's.

crossroads. Not much to it aside from these old buildings.
