Each walking tour describes historical, architectural landmarks, cultural sites and ecclesiastic touchstones and provides step-by-step directions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Newberry County came into existence with the new nation after the American Revolution, having been carved out of the Ninety-Six district in 1785, once described as the largest tract of unbroken farm land in South Carolina. The origin of the county's name is still unknown. It is likely an alternate spelling for the English town "Newbury," but a more folksy explanation maintains that the surrounding fields and forests were as pretty as a "new berry."＜/p＞ ＜p＞A site for the county courthouse was selected near the center of the county in 1789 on land donated by John Coate. Frederick Nance was the first resident of Newberry, having been appointed Clerk of the Court in 1794 in addition to establishing a small mercantile trade and managing the post office. Early settlers in the town were wealthy plantation owners and entrepreneurs not in need of many services. The small town had the only post office in the district, a jail, a school, a cemetery and even a library but not much else. No churches were built in Newberry until the 1830s when the town's residents petitioned for incorporation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a familiar tale, Newberry grew largely as a result of the coming of the railroad in 1851. By the late 1800s the town was the hub for both the Greenville & Columbia Railroad and the Laurens Railroad. By the 1870s Newberry possessed the second largest cotton market in the state after Charleston. Cotton mills brought industry to the town in the 1880s and upon its completion in 1883 the Newberry Cotton Mills was the largest steam-powered factory in America.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Many of Newberry's buildings appeared in the years to follow - although it seemed town residents were in a perpetual state of rebuilding. In June 1866 half the town was destroyed by fire; an 1870 fire claimed 20 stores and another blaze in 1879 took another dozen. A tornado swept though downtown in March 1884. The last devastating fire occurred in 1907 when five square blocks of downtown burned.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Our walking tour of Newberry will begin in the Public Square, which the government abandoned for more spacious quarters around town in 1906, and fan out to visit the structures that followed the old courthouse, including a monumental Neoclassical brick pile and a rare Italian Renaissance classic in South Carolina...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There was nothing haphazard about the founding of Nashville. The Cumberland Valley was scouted and a settlement party organized. James Robertson, a man who President Andrew Jackson would refer to as "The Father of Tennessee," led pioneers overland in the fall of 1779 to a verdant valley he had selected months earlier. The settlers drove herds of horses, cattle and sheep to the west bank of the Cumberland River, cleared land and constructed cabins. The following spring Colonel John Donelson commanded a flotilla of 30 flatboats containing the women, children and household goods for the settlement. It was called Fort Nashborough at first, for recently killed Revolutionary War general Francis Nash, but when North Carolina, which then legislated all lands to the Mississippi River, set aside 250 acres on the west side of the Cumberland River for a townsite the name was massaged to "Nashville" which didn't sound so English.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By the time Tennessee was admitted to the Union as the 16th state, Nashville was a trade and manufacturing center with mills, foundries and smithies supplying the frontier. The state government spent time in Kingston and Knoxville and Murfreesboro and Nashville before settling here in 1843. At the time Nashville was experiencing a boom period borne of profitable steamboat trade on the Cumberland River.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Today Nashville basks in its image as Music City. But its musical roots do not run deep. Histories of the town written in the mid-20th century mention nary a word about music. The town was built on transportation and banking and publishing. From the 1850s onward, in fact, Nashville cultivated its image as the "Athens of the South." It was the first Southern city to establish a public school system and a half-dozen colleges would open their doors in Nashville before 1900. In 1897 the city strutted its stuff before an estimated six million people during the Centennial Exposition celebrating the 100th anniversary of Tennessee statehood. In a bit of 19th century wizardry, President William McKinley kicked off the festivities by pressing a button in Washington that triggered a gun in Centennial Park; McKinley would later join the throngs at the fair.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nashville's ascendancy to music mecca in America began with the Great Depression. Economic hard times stifled record sales and helped popularize radio. In 1932 station WSM in Nashville boosted its power to 50,000 watts becoming a clear channel station whose signal at night could be picked up almost across the country. In those dusky hours WSM played country music mostly and on Saturday nights it aired a program it had begun in 1925 called Barn Dance, which would become known across America as the Grand Ole Opry. In the 1950s record producers in Nashville began smoothing out traditional instruments such as fiddles from "hillbilly music" to create a "Nashville sound" that meshed with new record buying public tastes of the times. By 1960 only New York was producing more recorded music than Nashville.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The 1950s were the only decade in the town's history when Nashville lost population. In the 1960s more than 250,000 people moved to the city, a increase of 162%. They couldn't all be songwriters, could they? Maybe. Our walking tour will see what the popularity of country music has wrought in downtown Nashville but first we will start where the town began, down on the west bank of t...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞All of us at one point will experience grief to one degree. The apostle Paul says that Sorrow but not as those who have no hope. It is my desire to give people hope, as well as some tools to navigate through the process.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Grief does not just shut off. But we can live our lives with golden memories and even some shed tears, and then live our lives as intended by God, and grow a little stronger.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We can also turn grief into comforting one another. We will encounter chances in our life to channel what we have faced to helping others.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We may not be able to offer much, but if we offer us; that is, a handshake, a smile, a hug, a kind word ( save the platitudes for later), who knows what impact we may see.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
