If you’ve lived in TR or visited TR, you’ve heard the name Dicey Langston.

But maybe you haven’t heard her story yet.

Now you can learn more at the next Travelers Rest Historical Society’s meeting.

Tuesday
April 16
7 pm
Trinity Presbyterian Church

Come listen as Reverend Dr. Paul Wood Jr. speaks on Laodicea “Dicey” Langston.  

As a female teen-aged patriot in Laurens County during the Revolutionary War, Dicey defended not only her family, but also her comrades fighting the British.  After Dicey’s marriage to Thomas Springfield, the couple moved to the Travelers Rest area, where they lived out their lives and left many descendants.

Dr. Wood will share with us his study of the acts of bravery attributed to Dicey Langston, examined within the historical context of the times and in a geographical context today, using historic and modern-day maps as illustrations.  

The story of Dicey Langston’s actions was first published in 1848, well after her death, so this look back at her life through a historical lens provides an interesting perspective on this upcountry South Caroline heroine.
