McCrory’s opened its first store in Rock Hill, SC in 1918. The building became known as the “McCrory’s Building.” By 1960 McCrory’s had begun calling its stores “McCrory’s 5-10- 25 cent Variety Store” It was during this decade that McCrory’s became the target for civil rights protesters in the south. Like most other retail establishments, McCrory’s stores did not allow blacks to eat at their lunch counters. African-Americans could shop in the stores and purchase take-out orders, but were not allowed to sit at lunch counters and eat along with white customers. Beginning in 1960, the Rock Hill McCrory’s, along with Woolworth’s and several other downtown establishments, was the site of several lunch counter sit-ins. Protestors (9 young men) from the nearby “Friendship Junior College” targeted McCrory’s and Woolworth’s on February 12, 1960, resulting in the lunch counters being closed for several days. The most famous of these protests occurred at McCrory’s on January 31, 1961, and resulted in the “Friendship Nine” incident, and garnered national attention because of the “jail, no bail” strategy. This previously untried strategy lessened the huge financial burden civil rights groups were facing as the “sit-in” movement spread across the South, ultimately changing the face of American business by granting equal service to African-Americans. 135 East Main St., Rock Hill.

They operated a day school, a night school and a Sunday school. Formerly organized in 1868, Brainerd merged with Fairfield Institute (Winnsboro) in 1888. In 1913 there were ten grades (the 11th and 12th grades were added later). Brainerd was a feeder school for many colleges, including Allen University, Benedict College, Johnson C.

Cornwallis House. One of the oldest extant dwellings in the second-oldest incorporated town of the up-country, this house is documented in letters and diaries as being the residence of Lord Cornwallis in the “winter of his discontent” (October 1780–January 1781). Though several houses of the town were commandeered by British officers at the time of the occupation, precedence is given to the family traditions of the owners of the houses to preserve the story of that residence. British troops are documented to have occupied the Mount Zion Institute campus across the street from the Cornwallis House, and for years fragments of the weapons and ammunition have been found in the neighborhood. The first recorded records of the house date from 1797 when it was deeded to Captain John Buchanan, a Revolutionary soldier, by way of a sale at public auction to settle the estate of the prior owner Alexander Millar.

Historic Downtown York. Situated between two Revolutionary HISTORIC SITES battle sites, The Battle of Kings Mountain and The Battle of Williamson’s Plantation, the town can trace its roots back to the early 1700’s (named county seat in 1785). Much of this quaint little town stands from the past 200+ years that makes it an outstanding part of American History. Originally called Fergus Crossroads, the first white settlers came to this area in the early to mid 1700’s following the chain of Blue Ridge Mountains from Virginia and Pennsylvania southward. Mostly Scots-Irish, they called their set- tlements the same familiar names of York, Chester and Lancaster that they carried from the British Isles and more recently from the north. Prior to this, the first known inhabitants of York County were the Catawba Indians. The War Between the States disrupted life of ease and educational opportunity and Yorkville became a hotbed of insurrection immediately following the war. Federal troops were called to restore order and they occupied the town, living in Rose’s Hotel until 1876. In 1915, the name Yorkville was shortened to York. The city boasts of a large 364-acre National Register Historic District, one of the largest in the state. www.yorkcity.sc.com *Kings Mountain National Military Park.

Its walls are twenty-four-inch solid brick, brought from England as ballast by merchant vessels returning to Charleston and hauled by wagon to York. The building rests on a three-foot-wide solid granite base extending eight feet into the earth. The false window inserts show the designer’s devotion to balance and symmetry. It is famed for its walled-in gardens, complete with strutting peacocks, and its own gas light system for the chandeliers in the house. The interior features cherry woodwork and rare imported black marble mantels. At the turn of the century, a two-story addition at the rear of the home was built for servants.

Moon River (named for the classic Louis Armstrong song) is a wonderful and beautiful colonial home (c. 1904). It was built in the style of an old southern plantation for the Cross family. The design is that of an African American citizen, Thomas Henry Ayers, DDS. This type of construction is fondly remembered as “Uncle Tommy’s Mansion”, a description provided by Ms. Vivian Ayers of the historic Brainerd Institute, Chester. The innkeepers have an abiding love for God and an appreciation for African American history and music. Throughout the house are paintings and pictures of notable contributors to this unique American experience. Each of the four bedrooms has its own special theme: the Jazz bedroom, the Gospel bedroom, the Blues bedroom and the Rock ‘n’ Roll bedroom.
