Francis Marion Association

William Tylee Ranney’s Painting of General Marion Crossing the P*e Dee (1851) reflects the popular image of General Marion and his men in the middle decades of the nineteenth century (Amon Carter Museum of American Art).

A message from Rod Stalvey, to all those that might be interested in helping with my idea, to create a park, within the Historic District of Georgetown. My concept of the Francis Marion Association park is based on the City of Savannah's many Historic Squares, that can be found and enjoyed, while visiting Savannah. My idea consist of having a large Bronze Statue of General Francis Marion, on a large Granite Pedestal, as the center piece of a wonderfully landscaped garden, with beautiful benches throughout the garden, where anyone can just come sit and admire this statue of one of the Greatest Revolutionary War Heroes of South Carolina, the Low Country's Swamp Fox, General Francis Marion. If you feel as inspired as I do and would like to help me make this idea come to life? Then please contact me and help me make this park come to life.

It's all about our American Revolutionary 250th Anniversary, that's coming up in 2026. I think the appropriate name is the Semiquincentennial or 250th anniversary. Our email address is [email protected]
