VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO HONOR THE GLENN SPRINGS PRESERVATION SOCIETY FOR ITS OUTSTANDING WORK IN PRESERVING THE CULTURE AND HERITAGE OF THIS STATE AND TO CONGRATULATE THE SOCIETY ON RECEIVING THE PEGGY THOMPSON GIGNILLIAT PRESERVATION AWARD.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to learn that the Preservation Committee of the Spartanburg County Historical Association will present the Peggy Thompson Gignilliat Preservation Award to the Glenn Springs Preservation Society on Sunday, February 9, 2020 at the Old Stone Church in Spartanburg; and
Whereas, the Glenn Springs Preservation Society has worked as a volunteer-led effort for over ten years to raise the funds necessary and manage the restoration of the Old Stone Church, which was the home of Glenn Springs Presbyterian Church in 1908; and
Whereas, in 1961, the congregation of Glenn Springs Presbyterian Church built the brick structure in which it now worships, and the original church was left empty. In 2007, restoration efforts began on the original church, and in May of 2018, the Old Stone Church held its first wedding in sixty years. Today, the Old Stone Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the Glenn Springs Historic District; and
Whereas, the Peggy Thompson Gignilliat Preservation Award is presented in memory of the late Peggy Gignilliat, a long-time Spartanburg resident and ardent preservationist. The award is given in recognition of work completed on a historic site or significant work of art or artifact in order to maintain its historic and cultural significance; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of the Glenn Springs Preservation Society to serving the people and the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, honor the Glenn Springs Preservation Society for its outstanding work in preserving the culture and heritage of this State and congratulate the society on receiving the Peggy Thompson Gignilliat Preservation Award.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Glenn Springs Preservation Society.
