CTM: Siebels House and Maxcy Gregg House Multi-Cache

Hours of Operation: Tues-Sat 10-4 and Sunday 1-5.

Historical Information:

The Siebels House was built entirely of hand-hewn timber by A. M. Hale on a portion of the Thomas Taylor Plantation. Due to loss of state and local records by fire, the exact date of the house cannot be determined. However, there is record of the date 1796 carved on one of the hand-hewn timbers in the basement.
Maxcy Gregg was an active promoter of states’ rights and signer of the Ordinance of Secession. Gregg formed the 1st SC Regiment in January 1861. During Sherman’s occupation of Columbia, his home (circa 1840) was ransacked but escaped serious damage.
