Peach Monument
[Marker Front]
This monument is erected out of respect for the peach, delectable fruit of a friendly soil and a beneficent sun.
Upon a pedestal we place it as a symbol of God's bounty and man's enterprise.
Spartanburg County has the honor of the richest peach harvest in the nation, and we are grateful for this favor.

An appreciative community pays tribute to those pioneer orchardists who through foresight and diligence, established and industry that means much to our welfare.
They set a worthy example in cultivating a choice fruit, and their culture of the land contributed to the culture of mankind.
