Editing Dark Corner Exhibit (section)

==DEAN CAMPBELL==
Greer Heritage Museum presents this exhibit in honor of Dean Campbell. He was born in the Dark Corner, the child of people with very deep roots there. In 1983, Dean became the ombudsman for a Limestone College project to collect oral history. The project, titled “Tales from the Dark Corner,” solidified his mission to preserve and share the heritage and stories of the Dark Corner — and gave a title to his newspaper editorials and books.

A newspaper writer from the Greenville News called him the “Squire of Dark Corner,” and that term stuck.

Dean dreamed of a permanent museum home to immortalize Dark Corner history. He began talking with our Museum in June 2022 about the Greer Heritage Museum hosting such an exhibit; sadly, he died before seeing the result.

The Museum made a film about Dean’s life; it can be seen in the Theatre.
