Greenwood Courthouse and Confederate Monument
Title
Greenwood Courthouse and Confederate Monument
Description
Greenwood County was formed in 1897 from portions of Abbeville and Edgefield counties. The first courthouse, displayed in this image, stood from 1899 until 1967 when the current courthouse was built on the same site.
The Confederate Monument was unveiled on October 22, 1903. The pose of the soldier was taken from a photograph of a young soldier from Greenwood County who died in the war.
When the 1967 courthouse was built, the monument was moved from the front of the building on Monument Street to the side of the courthouse on Park Avenue.
