The Historic Marsh-Johnson House in rural Saluda County was the site of the Annual Picnic of the Saluda County Historical Society. Members and guests toured the Marsh-Johnson House and ate a delicious picnic lunch under the huge spreading pecan trees in the back yard of the house. These trees are the biggest pecan trees I have ever seen, with two limbs spreading over 50 feet. An interview with Tupper Johnson in 1981 mentions “the big pecan tree” in relationship to the separate kitchen. Tupper Johnson’s grandfather purchased the house in 1846. This means the pecan tree is probably at least 165 years old.
