With the current construction project to update Field Street between our museum and Fluor Field, parking can be tricky. We apologize for any inconvenience. Here are some reasonable options for where to park when visiting our museum:
On Markley Street, between Main Street and Rhett Street. There are a handful of parallel parking spots about 1.5 blocks from our museum. Free 2-Hour Parking.
On Main Street, just east of Markley Street. There are pull-in parking spots for a full block. Free 2-Hour Parking.
On Main Street, just west of Markley Street. There is a huge Pay-To-Park lot about 1.5 blocks from our museum.
911 South Main Street. There is a Free 2-Hour Parking lot about .25 miles from the museum. Park there, walk up Main Street toward Fluor Field. Make a left on Markley Street. Make a left on Field Street.
At County Square (301 University Ridge). There is a huge Free 24-Hour Parking lot about .25 miles from the museum.
There are a handful of spots around Greenville that are worth visiting if you’re looking to get a more complete Shoeless Joe Jackson experience.
1262 Pendleton Street, Greenville, SC
Though it is no longer a liquor store, the building still exists, and there is a plaque on the wall outside to commemorate the history of the location.
Original Doors
We are extremely lucky to have the original doors which were used at Joe Jackson’s Liquor Store, as well as a couple other unique artifacts from the business at the museum.
Behind The Counter
Here is a photo of Joe standing behind the counter at Joe Jackson’s Liquor Store on Pendleton Street. He and Katie ran multiple businesses during their lives, no matter where they lived. Each of them were successful, even through the Great Depression.
