A historic message
from the Chairman of the Board
of South Carolina National Bank.
In 1670 the English established the first per
manent settlement in South Carolina.
In 1970 a state-wide celebration is commem
orating that event. And all that has taken place
here since.
All across South Carolina the story of
our state is being depicted in songs, dra
mas, dances, parades, pageants, muse
ums. And in three multimillion dollar ex
position centers built specifically for the
Tricentennial Celebration.
So no matter where you live or
where you travel in South Carolina this
year, you have an unprecedented op
portunity to learn what has happened
here for the last three hundred years.
I hope you’ll take advantage of that
opportunity.
A good place to start is where
South Carolina did'.Charleston.
Charles Towne Landing
Exposition Park
Here, amid 200 acres of some
of the most beautiful gardens
and lagoons in the country,
you can see the exact loca
tion of the original English
settlement.
You can also see an un
usual forest containing birds
and animals native to South
Carolina three centuries ago.
And restored earthen fortifi
cations. And a full-scale 17th century
trading ship replica that you can board.
And all this, of course, is in addition
to all the other attractions in Charles
ton: Fort Sumter, the Battery, the old
houses, the cobblestone streets.
Charleston isn’t just an important
part of South Carolina history. It’s an
important part of American history.
But, then, so is Columbia.
Midlands Exposition Park
In Columbia, you’ll see a three block historic mall
containing two modern geodesic dome exhibition
halls.
Exhibits in the domes accentuate the second
century of South Carolina history, particularly the
state’s involvement in the Revolutionary and Civil
Wars. Here you can see how South Carolinians
lived, worked, fought and played in the 1800’s.
You can also see the historic Ai nsley Hal I House,
an antebellum mansion designed by Robert Mills,
famed early American engineer-architect of the
Washington Monument. And another antebellum
mansion you don’t want to miss is the Hamp-
ton-Preston House, built in 1818.
And you don’t want to miss Green
ville, either.
Piedmont Exposition Park
Climb Roper Mountain near Greenville
and you’ll see the last century of South
Carolina history. And you’ll also see
into the future.
The main pavilion of the exposition
is the Tetron, a giant geodesic cube
designed by R. Buckminster Fuller. In
side the Tetron are five different levels
that dramatically exhibit the history of
our state.
You’ll be given the geographical
story of South Carolina. And
the story of South Carolina’s
people. You’ll be shown the
state’s industrial diversifica
tion. You’ll be given a fore
cast of things to come in the
21st century. You’ll see con
trasting exhibits of the past
with the present. And a film
about the state’s history.
And I thinkyou’ll like what
you see. Not only in Greenville.
Everywhere.
Why Us?
As a banker, I usually don’t have rea
son to become involved with promot
ing historical attractions within the
state.
But when you consider that SCN
shares 136 years of history with South
Carolina, talking about the 1970 Tri
centennial Celebration seems a pretty
logical thing for us to do.
That’s why, in addition to newspapers, we’re
using national magazines to invite people to ex
plore our state with us this year.
Besides, we at South Carolina National feel
the more we all know about the past, the better
we’ll all be able to understand the future.
And the way we see it, more understanding is
something all of us could use. Whether we’re bank
ers or not.
Very truly yours,
John H. Lumpkin
