Woodland Cemetery Historic Preservation

2022 Research Symposium

Historic Cemeteries in Cultural Contexts

Local to Global

October 24-25, 2022
Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina

The Woodland Cemetery and African American Burial Ground Historic Preservation Project and the Legacy Council at Clemson University are pleased to invite you to participate in our second annual Research Symposium. This year's theme, "Historic Cemeteries in Cultural Contexts, Local to Global," encompasses the broadest conception of burial grounds, from local cemeteries to shipwrecks on the seafloor. Burial grounds in diverse places require recognition and memorialization. Over two days, this symposium will bring together research concerning historic burial grounds and cemeteries; the local, national, global, and cultural contexts of cemetery research and community engagement; and the multifaceted efforts to commemorate such spaces.

This symposium is sponsored by the Legacy Council and Clemson University. The symposium is free and open to everyone, but registration is required for each participant. If you have further questions about the Research Symposium, please email afamburials@clemson.edu or call (864) 656-8855.

Registration is now closed.
Field stones mark unknown graves in Woodland Cemetery.

Clemson University
  • Keowee Plantation Cemetery This cemetery is located on the hillside on the site of the Keowee Heights Plantation of John Ewings Colhoun that operated from the 1790s to 1840s. All that remains is the family burial stone enclosure and over 80 unmarked graves of the enslaved African Americans who lived and worked on this property. Clemson University currently manages this portion of the Experimental Forest for the State of South Carolina.
  • Lawrence Plantation Cemetery Benjamin Lawrence established a plantation on the land that was granted him by the U.S. government for his Revolutionary War service. The plantation was located east of John Colhoun’s Keowee Heights Plantation in the early 1800s. Lawrence is buried there, and a memorial stone was placed at his grave at a ceremony in 1962. There are several unmarked graves in this cemetery, as well, whose identities are not currently known. The Lawrence Plantation Cemetery is located in the Clemson Experimental Forest.
  • Hopewell Plantation Cemetery General Andrew Pickens established the Hopewell Plantation on the land granted to him for his service in the Revolutionary War. The original cemetery for enslaved African Americans is located near the current Hopewell house off West Cherry Road in Clemson, SC. Subsequent owners of the Hopewell Plantation, including Andrew Pickens, Jr., also enslaved African Americans, who might be buried in the cemetery.

Meet in the Hendrix Center Lobby. Shuttle transportation is provided to and from the field trip location. This field trip takes place outside. It requires walking on unpaved pathways in a hilly and wooded area. Comfortable tennis shoes, long pants, long sleeves, and hats/head coverings are encouraged. Water, sun protection, and bug spray are also encouraged.


9:00am, 10:00am, 11:00am - Tours offered on the hour
Woodland Cemetery and African American Burial Ground

Take a one-hour guided tour of Woodland Cemetery and the African American Burial Ground on Clemson University’s campus. More than 1,000 souls rest in this sacred ground. The Clemson Board of Trustees founded Woodland Cemetery in 1924 as a segregated cemetery for white employees. It is the burial place for over 600 Clemson employees and their families, including past Clemson presidents and professors. Between July 2020 and January 2021, ground penetrating radar (GPR) recovered more than 500 unmarked graves in the cemetery. These graves are believed to belong to African and African American enslaved persons, sharecroppers, domestic workers, tenant farmers, convicted laborers, and wage workers and their families who lived and died on the land from the antebellum era through the Jim Crow era.

Meet at the entrance to Woodland Cemetery on Woodland Drive at the intersection of Williamson Road and S. Palmetto Boulevard (at the top of the hill adjacent to Memorial Stadium). This tour is outside and requires walking on paved and unpaved pathways. Comfortable tennis shoes, sun protection, bug spray, and bottled water are encouraged.


8:30am - 10:00am and 10:30am - 12:00pm

  • King's Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery is an active historic cemetery owned by King’s Chapel AME Church. This African American cemetery dates back to the pre-civil war era. The cemetery holds the remains of enslaved African Americans and veterans dating back to World War II. The church was organized in 1865. The stone monument was constructed in 1993 to commemorate the restoration of the cemetery.
  • St. Paul's Episcopal Church Cemetery is an active burial site for members and family members of St. Paul's and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Clemson. St. Paul's was founded in 1819 by a group of wealthy planters and enslavers and successful merchants and tradesmen living in and around Pendleton Village. There are several historical figures from the heyday of the Upstate's political and social prominence buried in the churchyard, including Charles Coatesworth Pinckney, Floride Calhoun, and Anna Calhoun and Thomas Green Clemson. There are four Black burials recorded in the St. Paul's register, all located in the same plot, and all dating between 1866 and 1880.

Meet in the Hendrix Center Lobby. Shuttle transportation is provided to and from the field trip location. Both field trips take place outside. Comfortable tennis shoes, sun protection, bug spray, and bottled water are encouraged.

Whispers from the Waters: The Ancestral Voices of the TransOceanic "Slave" Trade

Kamau Sadiki, Board Member and Lead Instructor, Diving With a Purpose

This presentation will discuss the underwater archaeology of shipwreck sites of ships involved in the transoceanic raid, trade, and enslavement of Black bodies during the 18th and 19th centuries. How should these Black bodies be remembered? These shipwreck sites are considered sacred, but the thousands of lives lost have not been appropriately acknowledged nor memorialized.

Diving with a Purpose (DWP) is a 501c3 organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of submerged heritage resources by providing education, training, certification and field experience to adults and youth in the fields of maritime archaeology and ocean conservation. Our special focus is the protection, documentation and interpretation of African slave trade shipwrecks and the maritime history and culture of African Americans who formed a core of labor and expertise for America's maritime enterprises.
