The future of Clemson University is rooted in its past,born from a gift made when Thomas Green Clemson and his wife Anna Calhoun Clemson called Fort Hill their home. It was in this house that they dreamed of a high seminary of learning for South Carolina. What began as discussions between a husband and wife in this historic house has grown into one of the nation's leading public universities.
Historic Properties preserves the parts of campus that played a role in shaping our collective past. With your support, we can use our past as a bridge to the future.
The primary mission of the Department of Historic Properties is the management of Fort Hill, preserving the history of all who lived there. In addition to Fort Hill, the group maintains the Hanover House, located in the South Carolina Botanical Garden, as an historic house museum. The Historic Properties has been an advocate of campus-wide historic preservation, and the director serves as a University liaison to the State Historic Preservation Office. An Historic Properties Alumni Advisory Committee (HPAC) supports the goals of the department, including preservation planning for Hopewell, family home site of General Andrew Pickens, known as the Cherry Farm house.

Join us for Brick by Brick:
A five-week book series presented by Clemson University Historic Properties and Annual Giving
America’s cultural identities are etched in stone, carved in wood and molded by the hands of the many skilled laborers who came before us. The American built environment tells a story of multitudes, and learning from this physical reflection of our past helps us to better understand where we came from and where we stand today.
We are bringing the Clemson community a five-week summer book series on the American built environment to take place every Tuesday, July 9-August 6. Hear from authors who have dedicated their lives to expanding America’s story. Our historic structures and remnants left behind have much to share. Join us for an exclusive tour of our historic campus properties.
