In 1907, 157 residents signed a petition to incorporate the area and named it Pageland after Adolphus High “Dolly” Page. Page was the C&L engineer responsible for bringing the railroad through town.

The railroad no longer exists, but Pageland’s close proximity to Charlotte still brings many travelers its way. Several large industries and distribution centers have set up shop in Pageland, and there is a collection of small businesses downtown.

Importantly, this rural community is also home to many farms, such as the one pictured above. Its sandy soil is particularly well-suited for growing melons and peaches. Known as the “Watermelon Capitol of the World,” Pageland hosts the Watermelon Festival each July to celebrate this delicious summertime treat!

Many thanks to Chris Austin for sharing these pictures he took in 2012. Want to see this farm yourself? Check out the map below for its location!

This stable is eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Unfortunately, its eastern end is badly damaged. If it continues to deteriorate, the building’s structural integrity will be endangered. Thankfully, Friends of the Gaston Livery Stable is working to repair it so it will be around for at least another century!

Once the stable has been fully restored, there are plans to use it as a living history museum. As the group’s president, Coleen Reed, notes, “Aiken takes great pride in its uniqueness. Our heritage sets us apart from other communities. The equine, transportation, agricultural, and Winter Colony history are all combined in this structure.”

SCIWAY thanks D.S. Owens of Aiken for this great information and picture he took in December 2011.

Jerry says that “the red barn, assorted farming implements, and Modle A Ford peeking from one bay of the barn presented all of the needed elements for this photo.”

Jacksonboro is in a very rural area now, but in the late 1700s it was on a busy stagecoach running between Charleston and Savannah. During the Revolutionary War, when Charleston was occupied by the British, the South Carolina General Assembly held meetings here. The Senate met at the Masonic Lodge and the House met at a local tavern.

Before Walterboro became the county seat in 1817, Jacksonboro served as the original seat of local government for Colleton County.

This photo was taken by Rebeccah Connelly of Charleston in August of 2010. She tells us, “We had been wandering around Jacksonboro and happened to take a Westvaco road to cut through back to the highway. We happened upon this farm that had some of the most impressive scenery I’ve seen in a while. Gorgeous!”

Many thanks to Crystal Davis of Lexington for submitting this photo she took in 2005.

Special thanks to Robbie Bellamy of the Aiken County Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department who sent us this photo.

The house is representative of a typical Marion County family farmhouse built during the years between 1900 and 1950. At maturity, willow oaks reach or exceed heights of over 100 feet.

SCIWAY thanks BJ Thurman of Conway for submitting this picture and historical information.

This barn is on a farm near the Smithboro community about five miles outside of Mullins. Many of the old tobacco barns have been left to rot away slowly or have been torn down, but some have been saved and converted into usable buildings and even into homes.

Many thanks to George Smith of Mullins for providing this picture and historical information.
