  • Antioch Presbyterian and GPR
    Nov 19 2024

    The community of Cashville is located in southwestern Spartanburg County. It is home to Hurricane Tavern, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. It's also home to Antioch Presbyterian Church. Earlier this month Debbie Weekes invited me to join her and Len Strozier for a survey of the Antioch Cemetery using ground penetrating radar, or GPR. Len then gave a presentation to the general public about the technology.

    In this episode I've included Len's entire presentation, so it's a bit longer than usual.

    Oct 15 2024

    Pinckneyville was a town in Union County, South Carolina. The town was established in the 1790s as the seat of Pinckneyville District. It was envisioned as the "Charleston of the Upstate." When Pinckney District was divided into smaller districts, the courthouse was moved to Union. Pinckneyville started to die out.
