Description
"Tabernacle Baptist Church" by Catherine Sherman.
Tabernacle Baptist Church in Beaufort, South Carolina, was formed by African-American members of Beaufort Baptist Church after Federal Occupation of the town in 1861. Robert Smalls, a slave who during the Civil War became a Union Naval Captain and later a United States Congressman for South Carolina, is buried in the churchyard.
Beaufort is noted for its historic district. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973. The historic district is renowned for its impressive collection of antebellum architecture that reflect the Federal, neoclassical, and Greek revival styles that are also popular in other areas of the city.
