The ghost town of Shelton is located in northwest Fairfield County, South Carolina, along the banks of the Broad River.  The early settlement featured a ferry, but grew into a town with the coming of the railroad.  The major industries were shipping for the surrounding and the Shivar Springs Bottling Company, located just south of the town.Resources used in this episode:Blog post on RandomConnectionsShelton photos from 1960s - State Newspaperinterview with Tom McConnellRon Chicone's History of SheltonShivar cisterns on SC Picture ProjectNational Register Listing for ShivarShelton CemeteryMcConnell Cemetery
