The days are getting cooler, and though the change of leaves is not yet upon us, autumn is here! To celebrate the season, I thought I'd post this picture - shared with us by Annette Methvin Shells of Edgefield. It shows Brick Pond Park in North Augusta.

Construction on this concrete Endicott fort, located on the southwest tip of St. Helena Island in Beaufort County, began in 1899. The Endicott Board, a federal body created in 1886 to evaluate defenses along United States coasts, took its name from its chairman, William C. Endicott, Secretary of War under President Grover Cleveland. Fort Fremont was one of six Endicott forts built in response to the Spanish-American War. Its purpose was to protect the Port Royal Sound.

David Calliham first operated a water-powered grist mill here in 1768. A rock and mortar dam on Stevens Creek in Parksville dates to the early nineteenth century. The existing gristmill was built in the late 1890s of pine, and a concrete dam replaced the original in 1913. By that time the mill was run by R.A. Price, who began operations here in 1910.

This simple depot erected in the Chesterfield County town of Patrick in 1900 is actually a prefabricated structure, like many turn-of-the-century small-town depots. The depot was built by the Seaboard Air Line Railway company as a stop along the Columbia-and-Cheraw line, as was the town of Patrick itself.

The original wooden structure on this site in downtown Manning was constructed in 1908 and served as a stable for mules. Around 1912, two brick buildings were constructed on the site and were virtually destroyed by a 1915 tornado. A local law firm has restored the old horse stables near the town square. The site now serves as a popular place to rest and envision the history of the surrounding community.

The history of New Wappetaw Presbyterian Church in McClellanville dates back to the late seventeenth century when a group of 52 (other accounts say 51) Congregationalists, or Dissenters of the Church of England, arrived from New England to nearby Wappetaw. The area was originally occupied by the Sewee Indians, but by the early eighteenth century, more European settlers began coming to this part of Carolina. Wappetaw, a Sewee word meaning “sweet water,” was the name of the land between present-day Mt. Pleasant and McClellanville. Today that land is known as Awendaw. In a July 25, 2002 South Carolina congressional record, then-senator Henry Brown stated, “Auendaugh-bough was the name of the settlement when the English colonists arrived, but it was later shortened to Awendaw.”
