Celebrate Santee's Oldest Building: Edgemoor Barn Turns 100

This weekend the community will be celebrating the green and white barn that you pass by on Magnolia Avenue- Santee's oldest building, the Edgemoor Barn is turning 100!

To commemorate this special occasion The Santee Historical Society is planning a community wide celebration on Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 9200 Magnolia Avenue.

Get a feel for turn-of-the-century life at Edgemoor Barn, food, raffles, crafts and games for the children, vintage cars and tractors, a blacksmith will be on hand and you can tour the Santee Historical Society Museum inside the barn.

Attendess will also apparently be able to hear George Cowles (1836-1887), considered the town founder, speak about early Santee.

The Birthday Celebration's theme will be a 1900s fair fun, in which the community is encourage to participate by dressing up in period costume and stepping back in time with us. Our main objective at this event is to foster an interest in history with activities and displays cloaked in fun.
