Explore Stone Man Park
Music in the air, art in the woods & history under your feet
Music & Stages
Greenfield Excursion Stage
The park’s main stage, built from donated wooden trusses and flooring. It’s named after a local band from the ’60s.
Audience Shelter
The large covered shelter for event-goers, built from huge steel beams saved from a local Freightliner facility.
Rolling River Stage
A small amphitheater overlooking the Pacolet River rapids. It serves as a tribute to Tina Turner.
Elizabeth Cotten Stage
An intimate stage built in 2015.
Stones Pavilion
A pavilion built as a tribute to the Rolling Stones. It was constructed from large railroad rocks and discounted heavy roofing.
Take the Highway Amphitheater
Located at the top of the property near I-85, the name of this listening spot is a tribute to hometown musical act, The Marshall Tucker Band.
Hurricane Stage
Another structure made from downed trees from Hurricane Helene is a tribute to a Bob Dylan song.
Art & Structures
The Stone Man Statue
The statue that gave the park its name is much like the founder himself…happiest in nature, listening to music and creating art with his trusty dog by his side.
Under Oaks Pavilion
A memorial pavilion featuring a carved totem. It honors the large oak trees felled by Hurricane Helene.
Green Room Wall
Musicians who play on the Greenfield Excursion signed the Green Room Wall.
Music Camp Honor Wall
Marking the 30th Anniversary (1996–2026), the people listed played an integral part of the construction of the Music Camp.
Torii
Inspired by John’s childhood as a Navy brat in Japan. The Shinto religion teaches that someone who travels through a torii crosses from the mundane world into sacred one.
Ent
After a tree with human-like legs had been downed by Hurricane Helene, John had the idea to turn it into an Ent, an homage to a “Lord of the Rings” character. Artists and helpers painstakingly brought it to life.
Keep Your Eyes Peeled
Don’t miss the details. From hidden carvings to ceramic disks, our woods are full of artistic treasures waiting to be found. Come see what you can spot!
Nature & History
The Pacolet River
The park is nestled along the Pacolet River, with spots like the Rolling River Stage overlooking the rapids.
Revolutionary War Site
This land is the site of the first recorded Revolutionary War firefight in upstate South Carolina. In 1775, Patriots ambushed Tories right here at the ford on the Pacolet River. A Historical Marker is planned for this location.
