  • Join us on October 17th out at the beautiful Gateway Center in Richburg, South Carolina for the Annual Meeting of the Chester County Historical Society.

    Keynote Speaker:
  • Dr. Eddie Lee, Dept. of History, Winthrop University

    The Chester County Historical Society was gifted one amazing Autograph Collection.  From Einstein to Roosevelt and everyone in between...if you were famous or noteworthy in 1938/39, Dr. Davidson wrote requesting your autograph on "first-day covers" (postage stamps).  He made the request on behalf of his "little daughter who was badly burned".  During the long months of recovery Dr. Davidson sought to entertain and educate young Ann.

    The entire collection will be on display during the annual meeting for the first time!
