Anderson, South Carolina: Upstate to honor Gens. Pickens and Anderson

Another article from an event that took place a couple of weeks ago. But they're going on my calendar and will be noted in good time for next year. (I'm assuming this event will take place every year.)

Upstate to honor Gens. Pickens and Anderson

The Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution will gather Sunday to celebrate the life of Gen. Andrew Pickens and 11 others.

The event is set to start at 2:30 p.m. at Old Stone Church, which is at Old Stone Church Road and U.S. 76 in Clemson.

The group will also honor other patriots, including Gen. Robert Anderson, who like Pickens are among those buried in the churchyard.

The event, hosted by the General Andrew Pickens chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, will mark the 272nd anniversary of Pickens’ birth.

A brief memorial service is planned as well as the placing of wreaths at the patriots’ graves. A color guard in Revolutionary War era dress plans to attend.

The public is invited to take part in the activities.

The Sons of the American Revolution is an educational, nonprofit organization.
