Bethel Presbyterian Church 1824

Mississippi



A mile north of Canemount Plantation and two and a half miles south of Windsor Ruins sits historic Bethel Church.

The original congregation of the Bethel Presbyterian Church organized in 1826 under the direction of Dr. Jeremiah Chamberlain. The building, that still stands today, was built in the mid 1840s. During Grant’s campaign to take Vicksburg, he landed his troops east of the Mississippi River just a few miles from here at Bruinsburg. His troops passed Bethel Church on April 30th, 1863 moving to Port Gibson on the Rodney Road.
