Guardhouse
The old Guardhouse sits on the village green, the center of downtown Pendleton. Built in 1860, this wonderful building is a must see.Thank you, Jo, for this update:
Wanted to let everyone know that the Guard House is now open for visitors. If you've wondered about the building, now is the time to come and see. The Pendleton District Commission is using it as a visitors center while Hunter's Store is being renovated. It still has the charm many of you remember when it was the town library. I only hope I can be as welcoming and helpful as Helen George who served as the town librarian for many years.
Note: During my childhood in Pendleton, this building housed our library. 1950-60's.

Pendleton Historic Sites
This is not a total list. The historic areas in Pendleton are far too numerous to list here.The photo to the right is Hunter's Store, built in 1850 and now the home of the Pendleton Historic District Commission.
Hunter's Store Warehouse is also standing and was built in 1880. It has a lovely captain's walk or widow's walk that provides a view of the Blue
Ridge Mountains.
The Farmer's Hall was built in 1828 and is pictured in the introduction to this lens. The site is a restaurant now. It is the oldest Farmer's Hall in existence today. More information is available in the links list.
Astabula and Woodburn Plantations -- see the links list for more information on these beautiful homes.
Gallows Hill built in 1840 - named so because it is believed that a hanging took place on this site.
St. Paul's Episcopal Church 1822. On a walking tour of the graveyard that surrounds the beautiful little church you would find graves for Thomas Green Clemson and Charles Pinckney.
Personal note: Our mother used to point to that graveyard and remind us "Colonel Bernard Bee is buried there. He is the man who named Stonewall Jackson "Stonewall".

This is in answer to Anthony's question about the old jail. It was behind the Hunter's Store Warehouse set in the bank of that hill. It was an awful place but the prisoners did get to eat hot dogs from Miles & Crenshaws Cafe.

Stornoway, Scotland - Sister City
Thank you, Amber Barnes for this great Sister City information!
April 5, 2001, the Mayor of Pendleton, Carol Burdette, and the Convener of the Western Isles of Scotland, Alex McDonald, formally declared the twinning by signing the official documents. The cremony was held on the Village Green in Pendleton.
March 21, 2002, Convener MacDonald and Mayor Burdette signed the official documents at a ceremony held in Stornoway, Scotland.
The leaders of both communities entered into the relationship with the hopes of sharing ideas and the exchange of citizens while fostering a greater friendship and understanding between the United States and the United Kingdom.
It is the ultimate goal of this partnership to deepen friendship and mutual understanding through educational, cultural, industrial and economic exchanges.
On April 9, 2007, The Pendleton Delegation dedicated a park in honor of our Sister City. The Sister City Park is located by Liberty Hall Inn on S. Mechanic Street.

Overall, Pendleton ranked 507 in popularity of topics over the whole site." Becky and Mel would be "blown away" by what you and Nancy have done to promote Pendleton... and I'm confident they are now!

Wow...this makes me miss home so much! I grew up in Pendleton, graduated PHS in 1981, attended Clemson from 1981-1985 and then worked there until 1997 when I got married and moved to Atlanta. It's just not the same in the big city, that's for sure. Nobody knows me, nobody cares. I long for the days when I worked at Revco and knew everyone who walked in the door by name. I want to come home! :(

This is my first time visiting this page (thank you Nancy!) and I loved reading it all. I have lived in Pendleton since 1991 (came from Massachusetts) and have loved living here! Towns like this don't exist much anymore. The people are so nice...the history is awesome...and the atmosphere that Pendleton gives off is so charming and comfortable. One of the main reasons I have stayed in this town is because of my kids. I love the hometown atmosphere and how it is very family orientated here... what better place to raise a child! I have considered moving to Charleston because I love the beach...if I decide not to it will only be because of Pendleton!!

It is fun to read everybody's comments. I was raised by a Gamecock Family, and was told that nothing about the Clemson area was good....but that all changed when I moved here in 1968 from a traumatic situtation, and I felt that the Pendleton Presbyterian Church loved me back into becoming a human being. For the years I "taught" in District 4, I am grateful. My 4th and 5th graders taught me a lot more than I taught them. It makes my day when a former student recognizes me and says, "Hello!" I love living here.

Well, it has been confirmed by my Dad and my Aunt that the second man from the left on the Lions Club picture is my Grandfather.

The one story that I like to tell people about my Papa Jones (Sam Jones) is how he was great friends with Coach Howard. While in California, Papa picked up a rock in Death Valley and brought it back to Coach Howard as a souvenir.
Coach then had it mounted at the stadium, thus we have the "Howard's Rock"! I have newspaper articles about this and love to show them to my friends................Thanks again for all the memories!

I was showing someone our wonderful playground a couple of weeks ago and she said that she thought it was great how the people in this area embrace children. I have been thinking a lot about that. Isn't that a great thing to be known for: a town that embraces its children. I love it! There is a group of granddads that can be seen working at the park either putting together picnic tables, painting, or whatever needs to be done. You can see grandmothers sweeping and picking up litter. People with no children are out there working to keep it up. We have a group called "Friends of the Park" and we had over 200 volunteers for our recent fundraiser, Freedom Fest. The volunteers were all ages. Yes, I am so glad that I live in a town that embraces its children!
