Heritage USA was an American Christian-themed water park, theme park and residential complex in Fort Mill, South Carolina, built by televangelist Jim Bakker and his wife Tammy Faye Bakker, founders of The PTL Club.
The park, which occupied 2,300 acres (9.3 km2; 3.6 sq mi), was built by church builder Roe Messner. Since its closure in 1989, projects have been constructed on the land it once occupied,[2] portions of which have been sold to several companies.
The former Heritage USA facilities in Fort Mill, South Carolina, which were purchased by MorningStar Fellowship Church in 2004, were renamed Heritage International Ministries (H.I.M.).[3]
