Seminar at I-85 Textile Corridor Annual Meeting hosted by The Greenville Textile Heritage Society

The Society holds quarterly meetings which are open to the public. The meetings are held at a variety of locations and are frequently hosted by local mill historical societies at churches or other facilities within their own mill villages. Most meetings have guest speakers or special presentations, textile displays and food. Society members and other attendees always enjoy the camaraderie, talking, and sharing of memories of mill hill life.

The April 13, 2010 meeting was preceeded by a great buffet prepared by Tommy Stevenson at Tommy’s Ham House

As always, great comaraderie and coversations preceeded the start of the meeting

Tom Perry, author of Textile League Baseball: South Carolina Mill Teams, 1880-1955, assisted by Mac Kirkpatrick, was the guest speaker. Mr. Perry gave a great presentation with slideshow of old photos including the unveiling of a recently found photo of “Shoeless” Joe. (See the Company Store page for ordering info on Mr. Perry’s books on textile sports & Joe Jackson)
