The Greenwood County Historical Society collects, preserves, and maintains records of historical significance concerning the history of Greenwood County, South Carolina. We restore and mark historical sites and landmarks and present material relative to the history of the upcountry that became Greenwood in 1897.
We are charitable, educational not-for-profit organization. We own and care for historical cemeteries as well as preserve the oral and written history of citizens, explorers and visitors who settled this upcountry area.
Are you passionate about what we're doing? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We're excited to have you join the team!
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
Four times a year we feature "Our Old Roads" and stories ranging from the earliest settlers to the current efforts to preserve and renovate our county's architectural treasures.
