"The Newberry Auction House"
Deep in the heart of South Carolina, an old wooden barn stands
off the side of a dirt road. The 100-year-old-barn, known as
The Newberry Auction House, is full of character and characters.
It draws a standing-room only crowd, often reflected in antique
mirrors, every Saturday night. "I'm not sure what brings people
out of the woodwork to come here, but I'm not arguing,"
comments one of the owners. "Maybe they keep coming because
this is one of the only pieces of small-town America left around here."
