The Hebron Center (formerly Hebron Presbyterian Church) was constructed in 1868 by formerly enslaved individuals using lumber from a shipwreck off Seabrook and Kiawah beaches. The materials were transported to Mullet Hall and Hope Plantations and then hauled to the present site by oxen, carts and horses. It is the oldest African American Presbyterian Church on Johns Island. The church was established in 1867 when a small group of freed, formerly enslaved people submitted a petition to the Presbyterian synod to establish a "Freedman's church". The builders of Hebron Presbyterian Church did not wait for the church's official blessing and moved forward to complete the structure. The church has served the Black community on Johns Island since its origin in 1868.
