SUMMARY: The town of Dunbarton in Barnwell County, SC, was one of seven towns displaced by the Savannah River Project in the early 1950s. Margaret Rountree, a former resident, has helped organize reunions for over 70 years, now in their 72nd year, held at Barnwell State Park. These reunions bring together three generations of descendants to preserve the town’s memory. Other towns affected include Ellenton and Meyers Mill. The reunions feature photos, yearbooks, and memorabilia. Dunbarton was uprooted when the Savannah River Site was established, covering over 300 square miles across several counties. Rountree continues to honor the legacy of the town and its people.
