Mars Bluff, South Carolina - Atomic Bomb Crater

In 1958 an unarmed A bomb was dropped near Florence, SC near Mars Bluff. An investor bought the land and put a large trailer park next to the crater. The land was taken in lieu of taxes owed. On the day we visited, we saw signs and a team of surveyors. [C. J. Johnson, 07/13/2008]
