History of the Saluda Grade
Tuesday, April 8 @ 2pm
Saluda Library
The history of the Saluda Grade spans from 1830 in Charleston, SC, to 2001 with the last train up the hill. This presentation by David O’Brien will address many of the important events that occurred during that period and several advancements in railroading that came from operation on the Grade. David became active in the Saluda Historic Depot and Museum in 2017 as a docent and is currently a member of the Board of Directors and the unofficial museum historian. Register for the program here.
The Saluda Library Speaker Series is held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 44 West Main Street, Saluda, NC. This program series is made possible thanks to Polk County Public Libraries’ partnership with Conserving Carolina. Contact Pam Torlina at pam@conservingcarolina.org with questions or for more information.
