To commemorate the 70th anniversary of an Army bomber crash near Price House during the Second World War, the Spartanburg County Historical Association remembers both the hard days and the happy times of the 1940s.  Hear the tragic story of the three airmen who lost their lives on a December day in 1943 when their A-20 Havoc Bomber crashed into the woods behind Price House.  See and touch pieces of the plane.  Find out how families celebrated the holidays even in the midst of wartime hardships.  Discover how recycling, home gardening, and conservation, or what we term today as “living green,” helped win the war.  Learn how African Americans supported the war effort and sought “double victory” over fascism abroad and oppressive racial discrimination at home.  Explore Spartanburg County’s wartime role as military training site and textiles producer.  Even learn the basics of swing dancing!
