Welcome to P.A.S.T.

Promoting Appreciation of Structural Treasures (P.A.S.T.) of Union County is dedicated to encouraging others to appreciate the structures of our communities through the history of those structures, the people and events associated with them. This is accomplished through a variety of events and activities throughout the year.

Engrave your name in history

Historic paving bricks from the old Anna-Dongola highway will be recycled to enhance the Lincoln-Douglas Debate site. These bricks will form a courtyard surrounding the existing stone monument and life-sized bronze statues of Lincoln and Douglas and will be in place for the Sesquicentennial Celebration in September of 2008 to be enjoyed by generations to come.

Web Project

We are currently looking for for pictures of structures in Union County from the Lincoln-Douglas era (pre-1865). Please email your pictures along with any information you have about them to the webmaster.

This site is designed to help to answer most questions about P.A.S.T. as well as provide information on the history of the county as it relates to structures and those connected with those structures. If you would like more information about P.A.S.T. or any of its projects, Contact Us!
