From the pages of history...
On May 20, 2017, Clemson University celebrated the restoration of the front porch of Hopewell, home of the Andrew Pickens family. The ceremony included speeches by Clemson University Director of Historic Properties Will Hiott, professor Rod Andrew (author of The Life and Times of General Andrew Pickens, Revolutionary War Hero, American Founder), and Historic Properties Alumni Advisory Committee Chair Bill Steinkuller. A ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Andrew Pickens chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) was followed by a self-guided tour of Hopewell, music by Joyful Hearts, and a book signing by Rod Andrew.
