Heritage USA, the sprawling former Christian theme park and complex in Fort Mill, South Carolina, is now owned by MorningStar Fellowship Church. The facilities, which were acquired in 2004, have since been renamed Heritage International Ministries (H.I.M.).
The Transformation of a Landmark
Once a prominent religious entertainment destination, Heritage USA faced financial difficulties and closure. Its subsequent purchase by MorningStar Fellowship Church marked a new chapter for the property. Rather than re-establishing it as a theme park, MorningStar transformed the site into a multi-faceted Christian ministry center focusing on conferences, education, and community.
