Thursday walking tour of Historic Seneca
Posted by Fay on May 20, 2009
On Thursday I will be going on a Greenville Newcomers tour to Seneca where we will meet with Seneca Women’s Club in the historic Ballenger House
(circa 1925) and taking a walking tour of this historic town followed by lunch, of course!
Seneca is located in Oconee County, which forms the northwestern tip of South Carolina and borders both Georgia and North Carolina. Originally called “Seneca City,” it was founded in 1873 at the point where two railroad
lines connecting Atlanta and Charlotte crossed. (Earlier, a Native American village named Esseneca was settled by the Cherokee near
present-day Clemson University.)
Seneca recently adopted the motto “City of Smiles, City with Style.”

Fay-
Hello. My name is Kelly Coakley and I am an anchor with WYFF. I came across your blog on our station sponsored site Sound Off South. Each week we select a spotlight blog and feature it during our Sunday morning show. I was wondering if you would like to have your blog be a spotlight blog and come on the show to talk about it. It looks like you and your husband are in Florida — will you be home any time soon? If you are interested, I’d like to have you on in August. Please let me know!
Thanks-Kelly Coakley
