Aiken County to Hold Public Hearings on Community Relations
The Aiken County Council, led by Gayle Wolman, will launch public hearings starting March 4 to improve relations with all residents. Hearings run about 90 minutes at public schools across districts, with a listening session and district representatives guiding each. Participants will discuss topics like transportation infrastructure and housing, then a written report will go to the council. A survey will accompany the hearings, and officials expect ongoing sessions after the first round.

Highland Park Hotel Fires Shape Aiken History
The record traces a string of fires from 1839 to 1916 that destroyed major hotels in Aiken and North Augusta. It notes the Highland Park Hotel’s rebuilding cycles, the 1898 blaze, and how such events spurred growth, competition, and later development in the region. The narrative references museum exhibits and local historians like Don Law and Dr. Tom Mack.
