In this episode, Ned talks with Brad Steinecke, assistant director of local history at the Spartanburg County Public Library. Brad has a wealth of knowledge of Spartanburg's many layers of history; they talked about the development of the community that the Mary H. Wright Greenway passes through, and an interesting connection it has to the area around the Mary Black Foundation Rail Trail. They also hit on the story of Vanderbilt Road, along which the new Three Creeks Trail passes. Let's consider this the first of a periodic series delving into Spartanburg's rich history.
