Take a fascinating walk through Greenville’s historic West End with your tour guide, “Big Chuck,” and hear some amazing stories about the evolution of this neighborhood from working-class neighborhoods to a dynamic new extension of Greenville’s downtown area.
You will hear about old businesses, new development, Civil Rights events, arts development, the history of the automotive industry from the dawning of cars in America, and more.
