About this listen

This week we look at three ghost towns. These towns featured academies that played a large part of the town. When the academies closed down, the towns went into decline. This episode looks at the towns of Minervaville in Richland County, South Carolina, which had the Minerva Academy, Slabtown in Anderson County, which had the Thalian Academy, then the Slabtown Academy, and Sievern in Aiken County, which had the Edisto Academy.
