new Mrs. McGehee named their summer home

“Greenwood” and later gave the name to the small

village that grew around the plantation. Chartered in

Ninety Six National Historic SiteSC Hwy 248, Ninety Six864-543-4068www.nps/gov/nisi

The Ninety Six National Historic Site is an area of unique historical and archeological significance. The unusual name was given by Charleston traders in the early 1700’s because they thought it was the estimated remaining number of miles from here to the Cherokee village of Keowee in the upper South Carolina foothills.

By the mid-1700’s, European colonists found it a favorable place to settle. During Ninety Six’s early days, troubles with local Indians increased. In 1760, Cherokees twice attacked Fort Ninety Six, built for the settlers’ protection. Located at the crossroads of twelve roads and paths, Ninety Six village reached its peak in the 1770’s. This important back country town boasted a growing population, 12 houses, taverns and shops. At the newly constructed courthouse and jail, court cases were heard twice each year in April and November.

Ninety Six proved to be a strategic location in the Revolutionary War. The first land battle south of New England was fought here in 1775. Later in the war, Ninety Six figured prominently in the Southern Campaign of

the American Revolution. In 1780, the British fortified the strategically important frontier town. From May 22 - June 18, 1781 Major General Nathaniel Greene with 1,000 patriot troops staged the longest field siege of the Revolutionary War against

the 550 loyalists who were defending Ninety Six. The British-built Star Fort remains as one of the most well-preserved examples of an original 18th century earthen fort.

The park is located on South Carolina highway 248 two miles south of the town of Ninety Six. A visitor center features a museum with dozens of artifacts and exhibits. A 10-minute orientation film is available upon request. Books and souvenirs may be purchased at the gift shop. A one-mile paved walking trail allows visitors to explore historic roadbeds, reconstructed siege works, the original Star Fort, the reconstructed Stockade Fort and much more. There are several primitive trails to explore. The site covers 1,022 acres. Because of its importance to the founding of our nation Ninety Six National Historic Site became part of the National Park Service in 1976.

Tabernacle Cemetery Hwy 254, Greenwood

Now on the National Register of Historic Places, Tabernacle was, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a well populated and thriving community. It consisted, in addition to dwellings, of a church (Tabernacle Methodist) and a school (Tabernacle Academy). There is even mention in some historical records of the existence of a library. The cemetery is the only physical evidence that remains.

Among the 132 marked graves, visitors will find many other Greenwood and South Carolina family names. A unique feature of the cemetery are the graves of two Confederate general officers in the same plot.

Greenwood History

2 3w w w . v i s i t g r e e n w o o d s c . c o m

Considering the number of people building homes in the

Greenwood area today for the purpose of vacationing and

future retirement, it comes as no surprise that the first

residence here was built in 1823 by John McGehee, Jr.

as a summer home for him and his bride.

This area today, called Green Wood Village, is located in

the East Cambridge Avenue area. When the first railroad

came through in 1852, it moved the center of the village to

its present-day location since stores and businesses began

to locate around the depot. This marked the beginning of

developing the “widest Main Street in the world” and the

Square, now referred to as Uptown Greenwood.

The Greenwood community became known throughout

the state as “preeminently an example of what can be

accomplished by unremitting energy and boundless self-

reliance” and Greenwood’s “hospitable and progressive”

people welcomed “all who may come to” their town.

These characteristics are still present in today’s

Greenwood residents.

With its “Perennial Favorite” theme, the Festival has been attracting thousands of visitors for culture

Ware ShoalsThe Town of Ware Shoals, which straddles the Counties of

Greenwood, Abbeville and Laurens, was little more than a picnic site

on the Saluda River in the late 1800s.. As America began developing

hydroelectric plants to produce electricity, the Saluda River and its

shoals would become an attractive site for industrialists of the day.

Benjamin D. Riegel bought the project

from Nat Dial, a local banker who

originated the project, and founded both

the Ware Shoals Manufacturing Company

and the town of Ware Shoals in 1902, later

to become Riegel Textile Corporation. The

plant would eventually employ as many as 5,000 workers.

Riegel Stadium was built in 1931 using workers from President

Roosevelt’s nation-wide job programs. Through the decades, Riegel

Stadium has hosted high school football and baseball leagues, textile

baseball leagues, and the Negro baseball leagues. The town most

recently hosted a film crew for the production of “Leatherheads”,

starring George Clooney.

Ninety Six SCFrom the siege at Star Fort to the production of military fabric at

the Ninety Six Cotton Mill, the town of Ninety Six has a rich history

and has preserved their small-town charm throughout the years.

Established in the early 1700s, the name “Ninety Six” was derived

from the mistaken belief that it was

96 miles to the nearest Cherokee

settlement of Keowee. Ninety Six is

home to the first land battle of the

American Revolution south of New

England, which was fought in 1775. The

Revolutionary War battlefield and Star Fort are now designated a

National Historic Site where living history re-enactments take place

throughout the year.

With 212 miles of shoreline, Lake Greenwood State Recreation Area

is a great place to camp, fish, boat, hike, and picnic. Ninety Six

also affords avid golfers the opportunity to play at two exceptional

courses, including The Golf Club at Star Fort and The Patriot at Grand

Harbor. History buffs and outdoor enthusiasts alike will find the new

Visitor’s Center, located in the heart of Ninety Six, to be a great place

for planning their journey in the historic town. 4 w w w . v i s i t g r e e n w o o d s c . c o m 5

The new Greenwood County Library will be built

on South Main Street in Uptown Greenwood.

The new library will be South Carolina’s first

certified ‘green’ public library, a model of

environmentally-advanced architecture in the

state and country. The library will also play

a critical role in the implementation of the

Greenwood City Center Master Plan, as it

will provide an anchor for redevelopment of

Greenwood’s downtown! Construction should

be complete by summer, 2010.
