CO. Although many of us don’t realize the potential iS o u t h Carolina's colorful heritage, out- of-state visitors are increasingly "showing interest in our many landmarks. Attracting these history-minded travelers is al ready a vital part of the state’s travel development program. One of the better known and .partially restored up-state land marks is Rose Hill, forme^man sion pf Willia’m Henry Gi^L, law yer. planter, legislator am! later Governor of South Carolina, at the^time of the secession. This mansion and its grounds, in cluding the rose gardens for which it was named, became a State PaPrk in 1960. A care taker lives on the grounds and will be pleased to guide you on a tour of the old structure. Rose Hill was built in 1823-32, and a few modifications were made over the years. The porches were added in 1850. Some features well worth noting are the mansion’s fanlights, im pressive carved doors and the beautiful spiral staircase in the main hall. Actually, it is quite modest for a mansion. It is at tractive from the outside, and the landscaped grounds are striking as you approach up the long drive. There is much work still to be done, although some furniture and a few original paintings fur niture and a few original paint ings belonging to the Gist fam ily have been brought tq the mansion. Such personal items as Mrs. Gist’s wedding dress, her sewing machine. Governor Gist’s leather trunk, and the massive old four-poster bed can be seen in the upstairs master bedroom. To those interested in this important period of South Carolina hisotry, it should be a challenge to restore Rose Hill to its original elegance. One the walls of Rose Hill are many written documents which recall the colorful and turbulent events leading to secession. On the right, as you enter the mail door of the mansion, you’ll find a copy of the original secession ordinance, dated December 20, 1860. It is signed by General David F. Jamison, delegate from Barnwell, and President of the Convention. Governor Gist called an emer gency session , of the General Assembly at Columbia on No vember 5, 1960. to “appoint elec tors of Pxesident and Vice Presi dent,” and, “if advisable, to take action for the safety and pro tection of the state.” An elec tion was set December 11, to nahie delegates to the Secession Convention. The first session of the Convention was held at Co lumbia’s First Baptist Church on December 17, 1860. Due to the prvealence of smallpox in the Co lumbia area, the Convention was adjourned, and re-assembled at Charleston the next day. When the secession document was signed on the 20th, South Caro lina became the first state to secede from the Union. It was from this Rose. Hill home that Governor Gist, dis patched * h i s cousin, General States Rights GisJ, to call on other Southern governors to join the secession movement.
