The history of the county's education system, one of the state's best, is traced with snapshots of old field schools and village schoolhouses, and its industry is revealed, from locally-owned lumber yards to the famous Lake Thurmond Dam, which created the largest recreation facility in a five-county area. Culled from individuals, family collections, and county organizations, these pictures are treasured items offered for public perusal.
