    We took a tour of the Moore Plantation today and loved it. Our guide, Kevin, was very informative…read more The house isn't big and some parts you can't go into due to safety issues, but it was well worth the time and money to see it. Not all out buildings are original, but they are reproductions to what the originals were. This is a pleasant hidden gem and a part of American history. We would go back and bring friends and family with us so they can see what people went through back in the late 1700's.

    A National Treasure and a South Carolina gem, this 1765 plantation is set in an idyllic location…read moreminutes from Spartanburg. I planned my visit there, but most of the visitors seemed to have stopped in spur-of-the-moment while traveling through the area. Most plantations available for tours are mid-1800s and grand, but this modest home dates back to 1765, its inhabitants playing key roles in the Revolutionary War. The guided tour takes close to an hour, and the guide went in depth and detail describing the implements used on a daily basis during colonial times on the plantation. Most of the outbuildings on the property are replicas, but at least two of them are vintage. The furniture and decor in the house is made up of a combination of period pieces and very well-made replicas. The up-close detail you can view on the home reveals just how amazing it is that the structure is still there! A nice trail takes you to the family cemetery about a quarter mile from the house. The grounds are picturesque and the outbuildings are in close proximity to the house.

    When seeing similar 19th century monuments across the South, my first thought is that it's another…read moreConfederate memorial. But it's good news that's not so today! Located in downtown Spartanburg, the Daniel Morgan Monument was erected in 1881 and commemorates the centennial of the victory at the Revolutionary War Battle of Cowpens South Carolina and its hero, General Daniel Morgan. Morgan (1736-1802) was one of the most respected battlefield tacticians of the American Revolutionary War. The Battle of Cowpens took place on January 17, 1781 where some 2000 Colonial militia and regulars faced 1000 British troops under Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton. The American victory was the worst loss suffered by British units since General John Burgoyne surrendered to General Horatio Gates at the Saratoga in 1777 and helped raise the spirits of the Colonials that the British could be defeated. Atop a 21 foot tall octagonal Doric column made from granite, it stands 30 feet tall and was modeled by John Quinch Adams Ward who said at the time, "I represented him with a drawn sword, advancing with his troops, his attention for a moment attracted by some movement of the enemy on the left." Morgan does not face in any direction that makes sense until it's pointed out that he's facing exactly towards the battlefield at Cowpens. The first plaque reads, "To the American Soldiers who on the field of Cowpens, January 17th, 1781, fought victoriously for The Right of Self Government and Civil Liberty. We enjoy the Result of their toil and sacrifice, let us emulate their fortitude and virtue. This Column is erected by the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, and South Carolina. The Old Thirteen States, and The State of Tennessee 1881." There are others. Check out https://evendo.com/locations/south-carolina/spartanburg/landmark/daniel-morgan-monument for more information.

    This marker is along Main Street in downtown Spartanburg in front of what's now a pub/restaurant…read more It points out the history of a doctor who fought for women's right to vote. The marker reads, "Dr. Rosa H. Gantt. Suffrage leader & Physician. A founding member of South Carolina Equal Suffrage League in 1914. Medical offices located on Morgan Square." It is marker number 86 and it was sponsored by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation in 2021. Online, there is more information. "Dr. Love Rosa Hirschmann Gantt (1874-1935) is thought to be the first woman physician in Spartanburg, South Carolina, with her medical offices located on Morgan Square. Born in Camden, South Carolina, she graduated from the Medical College of South Carolina in 1901. Gantt established a private practice working as an ear, nose, and throat specialist in Spartanburg, and was also involved in public health initiatives throughout the state. "As a founding member of the South Carolina Equal Suffrage League in 1914, Gantt advocated for women's right to vote. She was a leader in the fight for suffrage, having been appointed Legislative Chairman of the South Carolina Equal Suffrage League. In 1915, Gantt spoke before the South Carolina House Judiciary Committee to garner support for the submission of a women's suffrage amendment to the state constitution. "Although South Carolina suffragists were unsuccessful at the state level, finally, on August 18, 1920, women across the United States achieved the right to vote with the passage and subsequent ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment." This side of Morgan Square is a pedestrian area but there is plenty of parking nearby. [Review 2246 of 2024 - 1209 in South Carolina - 23264 overall]
