Being a Program Director for a Sate Park, I have to, of course, get the word out that programs are coming up. It is part of my job description. That being said, if you are wondering what to do this Friday, I have an idea. Come to Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site! A program entitled "Legends of Union County" will be this Friday at 7pm. A historian will be giving a candlelight tour and telling wonderful stories of the period. It is sure to be a fascinating event.
