Explore Greenville's History!

Never been to Greenville, SC before? Greenville has a fascinating history that is on display all over downtown. Take a break from Annual Meeting activities to explore! If you’re looking for some examples, you can start at the Westin Poinset (look for the wall of famous guests). C-SPAN covered many of Greenville’s historical features in a recent Cities Tour. You’ll probably note the many statues around downtown, including the statue of Charles H. Townes (his research helped develop the laser). For any Pokemon Go players out there, many of those statues are PokeStops. We can’t wait to welcome you to Greenville!
