Historic Grave Sites: Greenville’s Textile Mill Cemeteries
Presented by Gregory McKee
Cemeteries preserve lasting memories of both people and places. Gregory McKee will explore the historic textile mill cemeteries of Greenville, South Carolina, sharing the stories behind several of the region’s once-thriving mills. This program sheds light on the often overlooked cemeteries connected to these mill villages, their history, the challenges of preservation, and ongoing efforts to honor and maintain them. Join us for a look into Greenville’s industrial past and community heritage.
Gregory McKee shares the histories of the Greenville community and the surrounding areas. Mr. McKee’s research on historic cemeteries has been shared at preservation conferences and workshops across the state.
Lunchbox Learning is free for UHM Members and included with general admission for all other guests.
