In this episode, I talk with Brad Steinecke, assistant director of local history at the Spartanburg County Public Library. Brad has a wealth of knowledge of Spartanburg's many layers of history; we talked about the development of the community that the Mary H. Wright Greenway passes through, and an interesting connection it has to the area around the Mary Black Foundation Rail Trail. We also hit on the story of Vanderbilt Road, along which the new Three Creeks Trail passes. Let's consider this the first of a periodic series delving into Spartanburg's rich history.
