Oak Grove, Richburg, SC Oak Grove (Circa 1800) Past & Present - Working toward the future, but remembering our history. The stairway is hand carved and leads to an impressive landing."

Oak Grove Plantation (The John Edward Bankhead Home) was built around 1800. Taken from the book "Historic Sites Survey Chester County" - "It was a six room house with a fireplace in each room, lower and upper porches with four box columns of that period on each. The front doors and double doors leading from the hallway to the kitchen are put together with wooden pegs. The A. J. Cloud Family lived

here in the 1800's. Their great nephew was Doc Holliday the famous gambler who stood with Wyatt Earp at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881. The home was one of the few houses that Shermans troops did not burn in their march through the area. About 1978, when re-wallpapering an upstairs bedroom, writing was discovered on a back wall of the house that had a statement of the celebration being held at the house due to getting the crops in - dated late 1700's. John Edward Bankhead and Sallie Gibson Bankhead moved in the home in early 1950's. Ed and Sallie's ancestors settled in this area in the 1700's. Ed passed away in 1989 and Sallie passed away in 2009. At this time we are continuing to improve Oak Grove and it's grounds.
