Local Trips and Tours   

Every term we strive to offer trips and tours because Lifelong Learners love to experience new places! Some may be local tours, others may explore the uniqueness of towns and cities surrounding Spartanburg County. Check back here often to see what is in the lineup. For most of our trips and tours, participants provide their own transportation. We are sure to give you good directions and support. We always encourage carpooling from Central United Methodist Church. Please read the details of each trip carefully before registering. Cancellations will not be refunded within one week before the trip or tour.

    Following authorization by Congress of September 16, 1919, Spartanburg Post No. 28 with County Court Judge Bobo Burnett as Commander and the late John D. Hamer, Adjutant, was organized October 1, 1919 and received its charter June 29, 1921. There were 184 charter members, a majority having served as either non-com or commissioned officers. Membership rose to about 1200 immediately following the end of WWII. With the completion of the Legion Home in Duncan Park in 1937, meetings have been held there since. The Museum section of the Post opened in 2007 and holds donated memorabilia from The War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish/American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Visit with General Ed Hall and friends and hear stories about various wars and the soldiers who have served our country well. Your registration fee will be donated to the Museum.

The school is home to the School for the Deaf, School for the Blind, Palmetto Academy, Applied Academic Center, historic Walker Hall and much more. Because there is so much to see, the tour will be divided into 3 Friday sessions, each lasting about 90 minutes. A portion of the registration fee will be donated to the SC School for the Deaf and Blind.
