Remembering the Simpsonville Massacre

Location: Simpsonville Methodist Church

Cost: FREE

Please join the Shelby County Historical Society (SCHS) for Remembering the Simpsonville Massacre. This free program, part of the History Matters Speakers Series, will take place at the Simpsonville Methodist Church. Built 10 years after the massacre, the church sits close to the massacre site. This program will give an overview of the project and its future. A panel discussion will be held with special guests: Jerry Miller, SCHS member, former state legislator and local historian; Juanita White, SCHS member, historian and scriptwriter; and Steve Phan, Chief of Interpretation at Camp Nelson National Monument. Each speaker will give a brief talk about their involvement in this ongoing project to discover the exact location of the soldiers’ grave, with time for questions at the end. Each soldier’s name will be read aloud at the beginning of the program in honor of their service to our country.
