Old Fountain Inn
According to tradition
an ante-bellum inn
with a gushing fountain
in the front yard
stood near here
on the old stage road
between
Greenville and Columbia
and served as
a meeting place
for men in the area
in those days.
The present town,
charted Dec. 24, 1886
is named for the old inn.
Marker is at the intersection of North Main Street (State Highway 14) and Howard Drive on North Main Street.
