The Upcountry History Museum on the Heritage Green held a “Revolutionary Holiday Family Night” on Friday. The highlight was a traveling display of South Carolina’s original copy of the Bill of Rights. There were 14 copies; two were damaged, and this was one of only 12 remaining copies. It was lost for many years, but found in the South Carolina State House and has been preserved, although it was damaged.
Here, Chautauqua historian Pat Grills gives a reading of the Bill of Rights in the “town square” of the museum.

Entering the Pickwick Pharmacy soda fountain at the corner of Augusta Street and Mauldin Road is like stepping back in time – they have great ice cream treats, with shakes and malts made with milk from the local Happy Cow Creamery. The soda fountain is the actual rebuilt soda fountain from the old Carpenter Brothers soda shop on Main Street (currently the location of Bellacino’s). They also have a selection of sandwiches.
