Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum & Baseball Library

Joe Jackson Museum

Joseph Jefferson Jackson „Shoeless Joe“ was born on July 16, 1888 in Pickens county and in early 1901 moved with his family to the Brandon community in West Greenville, SC. He started playing baseball in the Brandon Mills men’s team when he was thirteen and played semi-pro ball with the Greenville Spinners in 1908. During a game against the Anderson Electricians he took off his in new spikes, because of blisters on his feet and a fan of the opposing team shouted: „You shoeless son-of-a-gun!“. Although it was the only game Joe played shoeless the name stuck. In August 1908 he signed with the Philadelphia Athletics, in 1910 was traded to Cleveland and in 1915 to the Chicago White Sox. After being accused of conspiring to throw the 1919 World Series and acquittal in a court of law Joe Jackson and seven other White Sox players were banned from playing professional baseball. After his professional baseball career ended Joe Jackson first moved to Savannah and in 1932 back to Greenville. He operated a barbecue restaurant and a liquor store and died in 1951. Joe Jackson’s house was dismantled in 2006, moved and reassembled on Field Street across the new Fluor Field baseball stadium in Greenville’s historic West End. The museum opened in June 2008 and displays artifacts, photographs, films, records and other items associated with his life and career.

Open: Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Walnut Grove Plantation

Walnut Grove Plantation @Flavia Westerwelle

Walnut Grove Plantation was established ca. 1763 by Charles Moore. When this area was still on the western frontier he received a grant for 550 acres along the Tyger River by England’s King George III. Later Charles Moore received additional grants bringing his total acreage to about 3,000.
Charles and his wife Mary Moore built the clapboard-over-log plantation home in 1765, a school building in 1770 and operated the first school in Spartanburg County. They raised 10 children on the property, all of whom lived to adulthood. The plantation was named for the walnut trees planted on the property by their first child, Kate Moore Barry. Their ninth child Andrew Barry Moore was the county’s first college-trained physician.
In 1961 descendants of Charles and Mary Moore still owned the house and property and donated the plantation home along with eight acres to the Spartanburg County Historical Association.
The historic site of Walnut Grove can be visited and portrays the living conditions in Spartanburg County prior to 1805. The existing manor house is the original structure built by Charles and Mary. There are also a number of other buildings on the property, like one of the first schools in the area, a blacksmith’s forge, a meat house, a separate kitchen, as well as Dr. Andrew Moores reconstructed doctor’s office.

The Children’s Museum of the Upstate

The Children's Museum

The Children’s Museum of the Upstate is a wonderful new place for all children to discover the wonders of the Earth’s most abundant resources, the full continuum of flight, the speed, power and controls behind Formula I racing, a realistic farm complete with chicken coop and garden, a construction site, a children’s test kitchen, a Children’s hospital, a television and music studio and much more.

The Children’s Museum began with one mother’s vision to create a place for children to learn and to be inspired in an informal, hands-on environment. When the former Greenville County Library building and the surrounding land was donated by local benefactors in December 2003 to the Children’s Museum her dream began to take shape in reality. Six years later the Children’s Museum at Heritage Green opened it’s doors in August 2009.
With three floors of indoor exhibits, the 79,000 sq foot facility is one of the largest children’s museums in the United States.
Throughout the year, The Children’s Museum will also offer many special events, like the BOO!seum, The Chocolate Soiree, Two for Two Thursdays or Birthday Parties.
