General Francis Marion Bamberg (1838–1905), the builder of the General Francis Marion Bamberg House, played an important role in the growth of the town and county of Bamberg, South Carolina.[2][3] Among other accomplishments, General Bamberg promoted the educational, religious, economic and cultural growth of the town of Bamberg, gave a library and gymnasium to the Carlisle Fitting School, and significant sums for the construction of a Methodist church. The house, located in one of Bamberg's oldest residential areas, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 29, 1976.[1]
