Prosperity or Frog Level

The sisters flew about 11 km. (7 miles) south of Newberry to the town of Prosperity. This town used to be called Frog Level but when the railroad came through in 1873, the townspeople decided it needed a grander name and decided on Prosperity. The sisters wanted to find a frog and certainly found a big one. Can you find them in this photograph?

Newberry Opera House

The sisters decided to go Hollywood (or in this case, Newberry) and try to get a job at the Newberry Opera House. It was completed in 1882 and three different colours of brick from three local brickyards were used. It is still used for theatrical performances today but the sisters were not hired! Can you find them?

Newberry Old Court House

The sisters flew to the town of Newberry, South Carolina, founded in 1789. In the town square they found the Old Court House built in 1853. The decoration at the top was done after the Fire of 1879 and was about Reconstruction in the South after the Civil War. The upturned palmetto tree is the uprooted South Carolina culture, the eagle clutching the scales of justice is the Federal government, and the gamecock is the still-proud South Carolinian people. Very complicated! Can you find the sisters?

Woodrow Wilson Family Home

The sisters tried to visit the Woodrow Wilson Family Home in Columbia, South Carolina. There appears to be a problem with this home of the 28th President of the United States (1913 to 1921). Built in 1872, the future President lived here from ages 14 through 17. The house is being "rehabilitated" so it will look like it did when Woodrow Wilson lived here. Can you find the sisters trying to visit the house in the photographs below?

Climbing and Cooling Off

Still in the Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve the sisters decided to climb a longleaf pine tree to look around. After that strenuous activity they found a waterfall to cool off in!

Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve

The sisters flew to the Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve in Lexington, South Carolina where they came upon Little Peachtree Rock. This sandstone formation occurred when an ancient ocean washed over this area leaving marine fossils and beach-like sand. Erosion revealed this rock. See if you can find the sisters!
