Plan a Visit to the Fort Hill Plantation on the Clemson University Campus, Home of John C. and Floride Bonneau Colhoun Calhoun and later Thomas Green and Anna Maria Calhoun Clemson.
John C and his wife, Floride Bonneau Colhoun Calhoun lived here during the last 25 years of his life. Their daughter, Anna Maria Calhoun, married Thomas Green Clemson in the parlor at Fort Hill on November 13, 1838.Barbara H. Smith, ©2021 HGIC, Clemson University
Thomas Green died on April 6, 1888. His will gave to the state of South Carolina most of his estate, 814 acres of land and a considerable sum of personal assets, today valued at more than $1,600,000 for the establishment of a «high seminary of learning.» The governor of South Carolina signed a bill in 1889 accepting these gifts according to Clemson's will, and Clemson Agricultural College officially opened its doors to students in 1893.~Information Courtesy of the Clemson University Department of Historical Properties~Barbara H.
