From the Pee Dee to the Savannah: Art and Material Culture From South Carolina's Fall Line Region February 21, 2010

The fall line is a geographic region in South Carolina where the rivers are no longer navigable from the Lowcountry. Throughout the state's history, the fall line, which stretches from Cheraw on the Pee Dee River to Hamburg (present day North Augusta) on the Savannah River, yielded material culture that was characteristic of its people. Artifacts from the region include decorative and fine arts such as furniture, paintings, textiles (quilts, samplers, coverlets, etc.), pottery, silver, weapons, architecture and other objects that were made, sold, and used by individuals from the fall line region.
