Greenville
as Shown in the Greenville Locals
Sharing local history is so exciting and important to
me. I feel fortunate to explore the pages of the surviving
Greenville Locals
and to glean from them those moments that seem to piece together
the fabric of the town’s story.
These slideshow presentations review the later half of twentieth
century Greenville through collections of digital clippings from
The Greenville Local.
I have presented most of these presentations to the Greenville
Local History Group and enjoyed the memories that others
have shared that help add color to the black and white
newsprint.
Additionally, I often share these collections with the
Greenville Local History Group Facebook page,
which has also created a unique platform for those near and far to
share their memories and tell their own local histories.
