Southwest of Orangeburg on the Bamberg Hwy, about one mile north of Binnicker Bridge Road is the site of the Zion Church and Cemetery. "Evidence indicates that it was one of the earliest Methodist churches in the Orangeburg area. The original building, built before the Civil War, was replaced in the 1880s. Appointed ministers replaced circuit riders about 1843. Zion was abandoned as a full-time church in the early 1930s, when its members moved to nearby Cope and Orangeburg."

The cemetery has some of the earliest graves existing in Orangeburg County, but is no longer in active use by any current church.

The church and cemetery are next door to the St John United Methodist Church on Bamberg Hwy.
