Title: Memories of home: reminiscences of Ellenton

Abstract

It was announced on Nov. 28, 1950, that the federal government was going to take over parts of Barnwell, Aiken, and Allendale counties, to form the Savannah River Plant. Ellenton was one of the six small towns and hamlets thus displaced. This second volume in the Savannah River Archaeological Research Heritage Series examines Ellenton, a town rich in history (the first volume discusses Dunbarton and Meyers Mill, and the interview procedure used in both volumes). Ellenton was about 25 miles SE of Augusta, Georgia; in 1950 it contained 739 people. The data, gathered through a combination of mail-in questionnaires and oral interviews, are presented here on the basis of coresident families to reduce redundancy. Purpose of the Community History project (begun in 1990) is to record respondent data regarding everyday life in Aiken and Barnwell counties in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The data will be used to model the material culture and spatial layout of this time period archaeological sites for compliance purposes. This volume is intended for a general readership (especially those who once lived this area) and thus has emphasis on archival photographs, etc.
