Lake Murray, Part 3: Memories Beneath the Water

In this episode, archivist and storyteller Lolita Rowe explores the remnants of those submerged memories. Featuring reflections from J.R. Fennell of the Lexington County Museum, along with archival voices from Ralph and Herman Wessinger, this story highlights the deep roots, loss, and remembrance preserved beneath the waters of Lake Murray.
