The formal worship in the Bluffton area traces its roots to the establishment in 1767 of St. Luke’s Parish, where a church was built near Pritchardville in 1787. Services on “The Bluff” of the May River first took place in the early 1830s. The young town of Bluffton was a summer resort for area and inland planters and a stop on the ferry route between Savannah and Beaufort. By 1842, a chapel was built near the current location of The Church of the Cross.

Garvin-Garvey House:
The Garvin-Garvey House, which dates back to 1870 is considered a historical landmark of Bluffton due to the restoration of the house, which was owned by Cyrus Garvin, a freed slave. The remains of the house are located on the May River at the intersection of Bridge and Wharf Street in the Oyster Factory Park.
