Springwood Cemetery Historic Walking Tour

meeting_point: Northeast corner of N. Main and Elford
description: A Springwood Cemetery Walking Tour is literally like walking back through time in our
city's history. The tour, led by "Big Chuck," will include the origins of the cemetery, the
Confederate Park and 80 graves of unknown Confederate soldiers, plus more than 2
dozen stories about those who reside in the cemetery for eternity. During our 75-minute
walk we will meet the first city leaders, the earliest mayors, those whose legends live on
in the street names of Greenville, the legendary businessmen, the good guys, the
legends, the scoundrels, and many surprises along the way (many historic photos will
be shown during the tour). The walk begins at the ornate historic front gate to
Springwood, which is the oldest municipal cemetery in South Carolina. This tour is for
those who love the history of Greenville, and the stories of those who created our
beautiful city.
