Reunion of Upcountry Families
to
Southern Wesleyan University 907 Wesleyan Drive, Central, South Carolina 29630
During the Reunion of Upcountry Families, history comes alive through photos, memorabilia and stories told by members of Upstate families who settled in the area a century or more ago. This event includes cemetery tours, workshops devoted to family history and a large display of items from local families of the Old Pendleton District. Although the "big" reunion event takes place March 12 on the campus of Southern Wesleyan University, there will be activities March 10-12 both at the university and venues off campus.
The Reunion of Upcountry Families is being sponsored by the Birchwood Center for Arts and Folklife, along with Southern Wesleyan University, the Faith Clayton Genealogy Center, the Old Pendleton District Genealogical Society, the Pickens County Historical Society, the Pickens County Museum of Art and History, Anderson Genealogical Society, the Central Heritage Society, the Pendleton District Commission and Pickens County Accommodation Tax Grant.
