Augusta Road Ruritan Club

Augusta Road Ruritan Club America's Leading Community Service Organization Since 1928. The Club preserved the building and used it for Club meetings and as a community center.

THE RURITAN MISSION
Ruritan is a national organization dedicated to improving communities and building a better America through Fellowship, Goodwill and Community Service. HISTORICAL MARKER UNVEILING
Augusta Road Ruritan Club and south Greenville community friends gathered recently to unveil a Historical Marker celebrating the Club’s preservation of the former Pepper School building, and it’s imp

ortant role in Southern Greenville County history. The old Pepper School building is located at 7788 Augusta Road, Piedmont, SC (about 1 mile south of I-185 on Hwy 25 below the Memorial Gardens in the Community of Moonville) and is now nearly 100 years old. The facility was once the educational center of the area and a location that provided generations of Greenville County residents a great place to learn both academics and practical skills like canning vegetables. After the school was closed, the facility was purchased in 1956 by the Augusta Road Ruritan Club for $6,200. Ruritan Club president, Dr. Gene Cornett, thanked the group for attending. He noted that Rick Owens, Chairman, Greenville County Historical Commission, coordinated the marker development and installation through the State process. Terry Creamer, Ruritan member and Fire Commissioner, provided the materials and labor to install the marker and build an attractive rock base. In addition to the Augusta Road Ruritan Club members, many community groups were represented, including Chief Ken Taylor, South Greenville Fire Department; Greenville County Councilor Fred Payne, and representatives from the Greenville County School District, Greenville Technical College, and Greenville Senior Action.
