Historic Resources Survey of the City of Bennettsville, South Carolina. Final Report

摘要

The objective of this survey is to identify all above ground historic resources that retain sufficient integrity to be included in the Statewide Survey of Historic Places in the survey universe in the City of Bennettsville, South Carolina. These resources include buildings, structures, districts, and landscapes that have architectural or historical significance. We conducted this research and field work with several goals in mind. First, the project can provide information for public officials in both the City of Bennettsville and Marlboro County to allow them to make informed decisions regarding the impact of development and other public activities on Bennettsville's cultural resources, and to set priorities for the protection and use of these resources. Second, we hope that this project will generate additional public awareness of the presence of cultural resources in the city, and their value to the community. The historical overview contained in this report can provide an appreciation and understanding of these resources. The results of this survey can serve as an archival record of Bennettsville's historic resources at the time of the survey; this report contains an inventory list of every site recorded during the field work.
