USA - South Carolina - Chapel

Another thanks to Teresa & Lori for this beautiful postcard of Fred W. Symmes Memorial Chapel in South Carolina.  Fred W. Symmes Chapel (also known as "Pretty Place" because of its amazing view) is one of the many buildings that make up YMCA Camp Greenville. It was given by Mr. Fred W. Symmes for the enjoyment of the boys (and now girls) who camp here each summer and is the spiritual center of the camp. The current chapel was constructed in 1941 with several additions and improvements made in subsequent years. Camp Greenville has been in existence since 1912 and covers 1600 acres.  I would love to go there for a Sunday sunrise service someday :)

USA - South Carolina - Map

Thanks to Teresa & Lori for this colorful postcard showing the counties of South Carolina.  South Carolina is a southern U.S. state that borders Georgia to the south and North Carolina to the north. Originally part of the Province of Carolina, the Province of South Carolina was one of the 13 colonies that declared independence from the British Crown during the American Revolution. The colony was originally named in honor of King Charles I, as Carolus is Latin for Charles. South Carolina was the first state to vote to secede from the Union and was the founding state of the Confederate States of America. Its capital is Columbia.  Read more about it on wiki:  South Carolina

USA - South Carolina - Campbell's Covered Bridge

Thanks to Teresa & Lori for this postcard of Campbell's Covered Bridge located in Greenville County,  South Carolina,  near the small town of Gowensville.  It is the last remaining covered bridge in South Carolina. The bridge was built in 1909 by Charles Irwin Willis (1878–1966). It was named after grist mill owner Alexander Lafayette Campbell (1836–1920) who built and maintained the Campbell corn mill in the town for many years. I love old bridges and barns.  Thanks :)
