Two and a half miles south of Windsor Ruins sits the historic Bethel Church. The original congregation of the Bethel Presbyterian Church organized in 1826. The building, that still stands today, was built in the mid 1840s. During Union General Ulysses S. Grant's campaign to take Vicksburg, he landed his troops east of the Mississippi River just a few miles from here at Bruinsburg. His troops passed Bethel Church on April 30th, 1863 moving to Port Gibson on the Rodney Road.
