On the same property as the library is the remnants of the Tanglewood Mansion, a home that was built in the 1830's and owned by the Sloan family. It burned down in 1908, was rebuilt in 1910, and again burned to the ground in 1970. The land and remaining structures were then donated to Anderson County's library system.
After a photo shoot at the mansion, and visit to the library, we took a ride to Twin Lakes campground, an Army Corps of Engineer's park where we stayed last November. Lake Hartwell is down five feet, but we still enjoyed the views, and were delighted to see a doe with her fawns as we entered the park.
As noted in other posts, Anderson County has a love of brass sculptures
Not an easy feat, but he appreciates being off his feet
All that remains of what was once an elegant residence
We couldn't figure out why the detached structure had bars on the windows, and there was no historical narrative to explain why.
Wikipedia says the home had large rooms, but it wasn't evident in the ruins.
A few weeks ago, the red banks at the island across from the boat ramp would have been under water.
A doe and a fawn were across the road from this fawn. We thought it was unusual that Mamma Deer would have allowed her babies to get separated. Later, we saw that they were together again in the woods, but we couldn't get a picture.
