A South Carolina Historical Marker for the birthplace and boyhood home of Dr. John L. Plyler in Travelers Rest was dedicated on Saturday, July 18. The house is located at 302 N. Main Street in Travelers Rest, and the marker is located across the street on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. A representative of the Travelers Rest Historical Museum suggested the idea of marking this house in 2012. Furman University’s Special Collections and Archives worked with the South Carolina Department of Archives and History to bring the project to fruition.
