Shiloh Methodist Church and Cemetery-Inman, South Carolina

Spartanburg County

The Shiloh Methodist Church is the oldest extant church in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The congregation started after the Revolutionary War. This church building was constructed around 1825. Church services have not been held since 1915, but there is a yearly homecoming every May.

It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
