Stumphouse Tunnel And Isaqueena Falls Part 1

Another great outing this past Saturday to Walhalla (Oconee County) and it was worth the trip! Husband, daughter and I went to the Stumphouse Tunnel and saw the beautiful Isaqueena falls. The tunnel was built around 1856 and was to be an easy and fast route by train from Charleston, SC to Cincinnati, Ohio, but due to financial problems and the Civil War construction of the tunnel was stopped.

Inside the tunnel is very cold and you can feel water dropping down at times. Clemson University use to store their blue cheese in the tunnel, but now the cheese is kept at the Agricultural Center on the campus. You can order Clemson's blue cheese by going to the University's web site and pull-up the food service link.
