"Mom, Can I Have a Nickle?"
Soft drinks, candy and snacks were once sold here. The building's original 1935 plans (see exhibit inside) included a concession area at the main desk. However, after the annex (where restrooms are now) was added in 1945, the park manager's family and, later, the South Carolina Commission of the Blind ran a concessions stand there.
Lifeguards had a first aid station here and "there was a jukebox at the main door to the bathhouse on the porch." With hits like Shake, Rattle and Roll and Honey Love, "the first people I ever saw (dancing the) shag were at Paris Mountain State Park." (quotes from Cleveland Jourdan)
Marker can be reached from State Park Road.
