This is the last existing birth place of an Alamo Hero.
We know Bonham as one of the Defenders of the Alamo.
Moved from its original location, in Red Banks (present-day Saluda), Edgefield County, South Carolina, yet in considerably good condition, this is the birthplace of James Butler Bonham.
The grounds are open to the public, but tours of the interior must be scheduled through the Saluda (South Carolina) County Historical Society.
There is a South Carolina Historical Corridor marker on the property which highlights some of the history of the house. (See Photos)
Type of documentation of superlative status: South Carolina Historical Corridor Marker
