Fall Tour 2024

Dear Friends,

I regretfully must inform you that due to the damage caused by Hurricane Helene, the South Carolina Historical Society has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Fall Tour in Gaffney. Our thoughts and hearts are with the Gaffney community as they continue to assess damage and focus on recovery.

In addition to the fact that some of the tour sites suffered damage, we did not want the tour to divert people and other resources from recovery efforts. We want our friends in Gaffney to be able to prioritize the safety and well-being of their community during this challenging time.

If you have already purchased tickets for the tour, please reach out to Hannah Mooney at hannah.mooney@schsonline.org to receive a full refund. Alternatively, if you choose not to request a refund, we will donate your ticket funds to the United Way of The Piedmont, which is supporting the region during the recovery.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your understanding. Please stay tuned as we hope to announce next year’s Fall Tour shortly. We are planning something different and special, to include a return to Gaffney, a vibrant community with fascinating history.

Thank you for your continued support,
