The Pillars of Community represent the core values that have made Greenville the special place that it is. They have certainly enhanced the beauty of downtown Greenville in a big way by adding “Art to Restoration.” There are a total of eight pillars throughout downtown, each one truly unique. Those pillars are: FAITH, FAMILY, HEALTH, EDUCATION, ENTERPRISE, ARTS, PATRIOTISM AND TEAMWORK. Each pillar incorporates bronze statues of children to represent the particular theme. The only exception being the Faith pillar which, unlike the others, features a unique cross design crafted by a local welding shop finished in a beautiful pearl white patina. Each pillar also includes a dedication plaque. The pillars have been strategically placed throughout the city in relation to their specific theme and also for maximum visibility. In addition to their beauty, they make for a fun family scavenger hunt!
