The purpose of the South Carolina Picture Project is to celebrate the beauty of the Palmetto State while preserving some of its vanishing landscapes.
The City of Fountain Inn is located in the South Carolina Upstate and spans both Greenville and Laurens counties. Fountain Inn was home to Clayton “Peg Leg” Bates. Despite losing a leg in an accident as a child, Bates grew up to become a renowned dancer. He received South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, the Order of the Palmetto. Cedar Falls Park is a beloved Fountain Inn landmark. This 90-acre park sits along the banks of the Reedy River near the site of the old Fork Shoals Mill.
