Premiering March 30, 2010
"Edgewood" was built in 1829 and over the years has served as the stage for many important periods in the history of South Carolina. Originally built for secessionist governor Francis W. Pickens in Edgefield District, the house was home to two remarkable women, Lucy Pickens and Eulalie Salley.
This documentary will be presented in two half-hour segments, first telling the plantation and Civil-War stories, and then moving into stories of the 20th century suffrage movement and the civil-rights era. The structure has been physically moved twice, and it now houses the Office of the Chancellor and the Office of University Advancement at the University of South Carolina Aiken.
