The Catawba Trading Path
Sunday, May 18, 2008, 3-5 p.m.
At the Historic Robert Mills Courthouse
607 Broad Street, Camden
A Lecture by Val Green—An
environmental engineer and graduate of Clemson University, Val
Green has spent many years researching his topic, John Lawson’s
explorations of the Catawba Trading Path.
Part of Green’s research has involved physically locating the
path that the English explorer traveled in the early 1700s
through the backcountry wilderness that included present Kershaw
County.

The Catawba Path is traveled in part today by anyone
who uses Broad Street in Camden, where appropriately
the weathervane effigy of Catawba chief "King Haiglar"
tops the historic town tower. (Image from mid-1900s)
Election of Officers—A brief
item of business before the program will be the annual election
of Society officers. The slate proposed is president, Peggy
Ogburn; vice-president, Bill Funderburk; treasurer, Steve
Reynolds; recording secretary, Jim Witkowski. Nominations are
also accepted from the floor.
