Traveling US 25 through the Carolinas today is a much more pleasant experience than it was in the 1700s. Discover how the road from the Tennessee Cherokee Towns to Augusta, Georgia, was a Cherokee trading path that followed a bison trace to the navigable port on the Savannah River. Lowcountry South Carolinians traveled by stagecoach and wagon to the foothills and mountains, staying for months. Local historians Anne Peden and Jim Scot will share what they learned as they travelled the highway and explored its fascinating history.
