Slater Mill

In 1927 "Sam Slater and Sons" built a mill above Travelers Rest. The area later became known as Slater. During World War II, the plant made the material for parachutes used by the Armed Forces. Both of my grandparents worked at this mill. Over 80 years later, this mill is still in use today

Slater Hall was constructed in 1931 and served as a recreational and social facility for the mill's employees and their families. It is one of the few remaining mill-related structures in Upstate South Carolina. It is currently undergoing renovation and is slated to be reopened in June 2009.

Slater Hall is located at 5 Whitney Street.
