Just off of SC10, at 104 Sloan St, you will find this lovely little brick brick building. The building may be simple, but the area has quite a bit of history.

"Caught up in the path of the French and Indian War, Twenty-three settlers, including the grandmother of John C. Calhoun, died here in an Indian massacre in 1760. Two large rough stones marking their common grave remain to memorialize their lives."

The only business that I could locate in Troy is the "Hash House" restaurant, which at one time was very busy. I am told that the restaurant only is open on weekends. If you are planning on stopping in, please contact the restaurant directly.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
