Possum Trot School, A piece of history in Gaffney SC

Posted Aug 9, 2008 @ 7:20 pm, Viewed by 789 Visitors, Read 833 Times.

 

   As Greenville and neighboring Spartanburg SC grew, people started to move to the outlying areas like Cowpens and Gaffney. There are many great Real Estate investment opportunities in the I-85 corridor which is home to the BMW Manufacturing plant only minutes away.

   I have a passion for history in our area and on a recent trip to the area I took the pictures below of Possum Trot School that was built in 1880 by Jimmy and Tom Pettit and a few other residents of Cherokee County. The school had 225 students and went to the eleventh grade.
