#35 Oconee Flag

Quilter Jenny Grobusky

Sponsor Cherokee Bear Clan of SC

The official Oconee County flag quilt was made by Jenny Grobusky and given to the Oconee Heritage Museum and is on loan to the Museum of the Cherokee in South Carolina for display. Native Americans lived for thousands of years in what is now Oconee County. The name “Oconee” (AE-quo-nee) is an ancient Cherokee word meaning “land beside the water.”

"The Museum of the Cherokee in South Carolina provides a preserve for a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the Cherokee heritage of South Carolina. We gather and provide a repository for artifacts and historical information relating to the inhabitants, formation and development of the Cherokee in South Carolina and provide a facility for continuing educational opportunities for students, county residents, and visitors to Oconee County."

Open to the public Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 11am to 4pm.
