How any times have we heard our "elders" talking about how different life was when they were in school? Having to walk 3 miles to get there, having to share one pencil between three other students... Stop by Timrod Park to see the one-room schoolhouse to gain a better perspective. Henry Timrod, the Poet Laureate of the Confederacy taught school in the little house that is now located at the park.
While he wasn't busy with his students he wrote our State Song "Carolina." You can find the lyrics here.
365 Days Around Florence is a blog written by the Florence Convention and Visitors Bureau. At the Visitor Center near the Florence Civic Center, we spend a great deal of our time in letting guests know how much is happening in Florence. We decided to share (blog-style) 365 days' worth of things to do. Find more things to do at www.visitflo.com/regional_calendar/ ... and enjoy!
