Upcoming Events in October 2019
October 10th at 6pm- Baker's Garden BBQ Kitchen History Talks: The Stories of Antebellum Summerville
-The oldest homes still standing in Summerville were built before 1820. The builders were living in the woods, not in anything that looked like a village, but ten years later, there was a true little town near St. Paul's
Church. In another decade, a second settlement called "New Summerville" was growing along the railroad tracks and by 1860, the united town of Summerville was preparing for war. Come hear about life in the pine
forest and how history was being made.
