Ghost Town Request

Posted on March 6, 2012 By Tom No Comments on Ghost Town Request

My spring break is coming up the first week in April, and I’m hoping to spend some of it hunting ghost towns in South Carolina. I’ve got a list of potential targets, but I need some more suggestions. Here’s a list of the ones I’ve already visited…

  • Old Pickensville
  • Pinckneyville
  • Lone Star
  • Fort Motte
  • Kingsville
  • Purrysburgh
  • New Bordeaux
  • Renno
  • Chappells
  • Old and New Madison
  • Cambridge (aka Ninety-Six)
  • Owings (not really a ghost town)
  • Stateburg

I know about the ones displaced by the Savannah River Plant, such as Ellenton, Dumbarton, etc.  Childsbury in Berkeley County and Old Dorchester are also on my list, as is Manchester near Sparklebery Swamp.  I’ve got a few targets in the upper part of the state, but I would like to find a few in the middle to lower parts of the state, too.

So, I’m asking you, both of my readers, for suggestions.  You can leave comments, but it might be easier just to fill out this handy-dandy form (link included just in case the form doesn’t embed properly):

Thanks in advance, and I appreciate any suggestions you might have.
