The Voice of the Village
The Beaumont Village Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, with voting membership open to residents and property owners in the Village, and a cordial invitation extended to “Friends of the Village” who are interested in participating and supporting us financially. Beaumont Village in Spartanburg, South Carolina, is one of two in-tact textile mill villages in the state, and was designated a city historic area in 2011.
The purpose of the Association is to involve residents in planning and implementing programs and initiatives that advance our goals and promote the Village:
• Develop positive neighborhood relations
• Develop a safe, kid and elder friendly environment
• Preserve historic heritage while promoting community development
• Work with law enforcement
• Provide resources
We hold our regularly scheduled monthly meetings the first Thursday of the month at New Testament Church on Gentry Street (park on lower level), 6:30 - 7:30 PM. Please check the calendar for any changes.
On the Mill Hill
When Beaumont Mill was built in 1890, the owners recruited families from the farms of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee to come work in the textile mill and live in housing built for the workers.
Today our residents are diverse. Everyone is welcome and anyone who wants to support our community is invited to join the Association.
