Episode Eight: The Goose Creek Cross Site

What do we mean when we refer to the Society’s cross sites? The cross sites are located in South Carolina and each one marks an original church of the Huguenots. Each site is owned by the Society and a granite cross stands at each one.

In this episode, Cheves Leland discusses the history of the Huguenots at Goose Creek and the church they established. Goose Creek is located about 19 miles north of Charleston, South Carolina and several Huguenot families had their first land grants at the head of the Creek, also known as Yeamans Creek. The church structure is long gone, but a granite cross marks its location in remembrance of our ancestors and their place of worship.
