Although the youngest county in South Carolina, Allendale County is proud of a rich culture, filled with history and Southern tradition. Civil War enthusiasts will find stately homes, such as Erwinton Plantation, which served as headquarters for General William Sherman's troops during his famed march through the South. Notice the beauty of Spanish moss gracing the enormous Live Oak trees or the low-lying cypress swamp areas where alligators, turtles and other species choose to dwell. Allendale County has a strong tradition in agriculture, producing cotton, grain, watermelon, peaches, peanuts, corn, okra and other crops. Stop at roadside stands to enjoy some of this fresh produce!

The cool black waters of the Edisto River provide the backdrop for Bamberg County's history and charm. Denmark is the chosen home of nationally-known artist Jim Harrison who highlights the rural landscape in acrylics. On his march to Columbia, General Sherman was met at Rivers Bridge by a small band of Confederate soldiers who tried to stall his progress. Rivers Bridge State Park shows the scars from that battle in the form of Battle Breastworks. Small towns such as Olar (on US-321 south of Denmark) and Ehrhardt (a little to the west on SC-64) are filled with settlement history and boast quaint country grocers from the Depression era. Join local residents for hunting, fishing or canoeing excursions!
