New Year, New Goals for Historic Rock Hill

Welcome to the Rock Hill History Hub: Where Stories Come Alive!

Our mission has always been to preserve and promote the history of Rock Hill, South Carolina, through education, community events, and advocacy. To achieve this mission, we launched this blog. Think of it as your one-stop shop for all things Rock Hill history, served up with a side of extraordinary. We're not just talking about forgotten dates and faded photos. This is where forgotten voices whisper secrets, and everyday heroes get the spotlight they deserve.

So, what can you expect from the Rock Hill History Hub?

  • We're sharing the stories that weave the rich tapestry of Rock Hill. From the corner grocer to the star athlete, the quiet artist to the boisterous family, we want to hear them all. This is a platform for shared memories, unexpected perspectives, and the untold chapters that make our community unique.

  • Adventures with interactive learning that you can touch, taste, and even smell! Imagine scavenger hunts that send you on journeys through hidden corners of history, or living history reenactments that transport you back to bustling marketplaces and smoky speakeasies. 

  • In-depth articles, watch videos, or lively discussions where the past meets the present in a vibrant exchange of ideas.

By signing up for our newsletter (pssst, it's free!), you'll become a trusted insider to:

  • Stay up to date on a variety of educational programs for all ages, from walking tours to public lectures.

  • Special invitations to events and workshops

  • Behind-the-scenes insights into the fascinating world of historical research

We're also always looking for new ways to engage the community and promote the history of Rock Hill. Take time to explore, learn, and connect with Rock Hill's past with each blog post. 

We also offer a variety of membership and volunteer opportunities, so there's something for everyone to get involved in. Here are some specific ways you can get involved:
