This is "Farmers' Hall" in Pendleton, South Carolina. The Official South Carolina Tourism Site states: "Farmers' Hall, which stands on the southwest corner of the Green, was begun in 1826 as the District's Court House, but the seat of government was moved before the building was completed. Local farmers completed the hall as the Farmer's Society Meeting Hall, and it has been in use by that organization since its completion. It was at a meeting in the Hall that John C. Calhoun's, son-in-law Thomas G. Clemson, and the Farmer's Society first conceived the idea of a land grant university to train farmers in cutting edge farming technology. Thus, Clemson University was born."

What do you think of the historic town of Pendleton?
The Town of Pendleton was created in 1790 for a courthouse seat. It is named for Judge Henry Pendleton, a Virginian who fought in the Revolution and remained in South Carolina. Until a division of the district in 1826, the town was one of the most influential in the upper half of South Carolina.

I have been taking lots of photos of our dogwoods and azaleas for my Squidoo lens. www.squidoo.com/dogwoods
I was able to walk down to the shoreline from the Lot and take this view of the Seneca River looking north towards Hartwell Dam.

We left the Walmart location in the previous photo and made our way to Twin Lakes Campground. The Lot we had reserved, Lot #10, turned out to be the most unlevel lot that I have ever tried to set up on, basically making it impossible to level this rig. It was hard on all of us, including the dogs, to get in and out of this motor home. Good thing we were only staying here for two nights.
This Lot was way downhill to the right. Getting closer to the facilities would not help as it interfered with getting around the left side of the motor home, plus that was uphill too.
