Pon Pon Chapel, Colonial chapel ruins in Colleton County, United States
The Pon Pon Chapel features two remaining brick walls and a cemetery within a two-acre plot along Parker's Ferry Road near Jacksonboro.
Built in 1754 as a replacement for a wooden structure, the brick chapel burned in 1801, earning the local name 'Burnt Church' before its final destruction in 1832.
John Wesley, who established Methodism, delivered two sermons at this location on April 24, 1737, marking a significant moment in American religious history.
The cemetery grounds remain open during daylight hours, though the chapel ruins require stabilization work following structural damage in July 2020.
The site contains graves of notable figures including Congressmen Aedanus Burke and O'Brien Smith, along with numerous local leaders from colonial times.
