Some memories never fade.

One memory of a gazebo on the Bluffton Presbyterian Church lawn lingered long enough that it returned, thanks to efforts of members of the congregation.

In the late 1890s  a gazebo, or “band box” located on the church lawn became the center of several community events from concerts to picnics.

No one is certain the when gazebo was removed. One thing is certain: it’s back. Last week, after considerable research by church members, a gazebo was constructed very near, if not on the exact spot of the original one.
