The Long Canes Massacre Site is significant to the history of exploration and settlement in South Carolina and for its association with the Cherokee War of 1760-61 and the Calhoun settlement of The Long Canes. The property includes the gravestone which marks the place where twenty-three of the Long Canes settlers were killed in a massacre by the Cherokee Indians on February 1, 1760. Among those killed was Mrs. Catherine Calhoun, matriarch of the Calhoun family, who figured prominently in the settlement of upcountry South Carolina. The Long Canes Massacre can be attributed in part to a boundary dispute between the Cherokee and settlers over a parcel of land lying between Long Cane Creek and Little River. The site is located in a private secluded area, contributing to the preservation of the site’s historic integrity. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Greenwood County Historical Society will meet this Sunday, July 27 at 3:00 PM at Main Street United Methodist in the fellowship hall. Loy Sartain will be speaking about Stephen Olin who organized the schools at Tabernacle and Cokesbury. He is extremely important to the success of Cokesbury's Utopian ideals. It should be a very interesting talk!

Please join us, there is no admission charge!
