Pon Pon Chapel was built in 1820 in Jacksonboro, South Carolina. It was located "on Parker’s Ferry Road, the busy stagecoach thoroughfare that connected Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia."[2][3] Today, Parker's Ferry Road is a barely paved road along the south side of a power line right of way, and the ruins of the chapel can be found along this road east of Jacksonboro Road (State Road S-15-40).

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
