“Communication: Endless Possibilities Past, Present, Future,” was created by artist/designer Carrie Gault of Floyd, Va. It is an interactive sculpture that has been placed at the entrance of Comporium Communication’s Telephone Museum at 117 Elk Ave. The sculpture depicts a teacher with students representing technology from different time periods. Mosaic tiles illustrate Rock Hill’s history while fiber optics light the piece at night. Led by a WAI Selection Committee, Gault’s design was selected through a juried process that followed a national call for proposals.

Freedom Walkway celebrates the efforts of the people of Rock Hill and the entire United States of America to achieve the promise of Liberty and Justice for All. At the birth of our nation, it was a founding principle that “all men are created equal” and that no person was to be deprived of “life, liberty or property without due process of law.” 

 The “Wheels in Motion” public art project, a concept by Winthrop University student, Brandy Scholl ’16, showcases the evolution and change at the Constitution Boulevard/Columbia Avenue roundabout, just like Rock Hill has transformed over the years.

A community as rich as Rock Hill holds many stories, creating the opportunity to develop strong themes. The social fabric of Rock Hill demonstrates resilience and an unbreakable spirit in times of challenge and change. Rock Hill history has been home to many courageous people who have worked for the betterment of their community. Industry in Rock Hill has shaped the community in many ways. The interpretive planning framework completed in 2018 by Conservation by Design,  provides an overarching approach to historic interpretation in the Knowledge Park district of Rock Hill, addressing efforts by three local organizations/ projects currently conducting or planning interpretation— including the African-American Cultural Center, Historic Rock Hill, and the Bleachery Heritage Project at University Center.
