“The rural Old 96 District is a world away from the crowds that gather on the state’s coastline for golf and sun worshipping. Travel along scenic back roads in South Carolina’s upcountry and you find small towns that give new meaning to the term “family values.” Add in people’s friendliness and the slower pace of life and Old 96 is just what the doctor ordered.” - Excerpt from an article in The Boston Globe by Beth D’Addono

“It was love at first sight. I don’t know her name but she stared back at me with big hazel eyes, her tongue hanging out of her mouth and attentive ears perked atop her white fuzzy head. I must admit that the prospect of hanging out with some goats on a farm in Greenwood, South Carolina first enticed me to an area I now affectionately know as “the Old 96 District”… In hindsight, I much prefer an afternoon spent with goats to one clinking champagne glasses with strangers.” - Excerpt from article in Points North Magazine by Joni Strandquest

“Clinton is one of those beautiful Southern towns that make you want put down your roots and stay…" - Excerpt from an article in Sandlapper Magazine by Bob and Rose Wilkins

“One of the best-preserved battlesites of the revolution is the Ninety Six National Historic Site, where the first land battle of the war in South Carolina took place in 1775.” - Excerpt from an article in The Carolina Explorer by Sharyn Kuneman

“This may come as a surprise but South Carolina has two coasts. The Atlantic Ocean, of course laps the one best known for Myrtle Beach, Charleston and Hilton Head Island. The other, made up of rivers and lakes far to the west along the North Georgia border, has been dubbed the Freshwater Coast. Travelers find recreational treasures in this lesser-known region. They splash in rapids, hook spunky bass, soak up quiet on country inn porches, eat gourmet meals in one-horse towns and sample fresh peaches at roadside stands. What they don’t find is a crowd.” - Excerpt from article in Southern Living by Joe Rada

“How’d we ever miss this one? This is a stumper. How can 70,000 acres of water, 1,200 miles of shoreline and dozens upon dozens of textbook-perfect skiing coves remain practically unknown to the world around it all?” - Excerpt from article in WaterSki Magazine

“OK, I thought this was going to be so lame, but in fact, I was fascinated by the Wild Turkey Center & Winchester Museum. Located in Edgefield, this facility is identified as the only museum of its kind in the world dedicated to the North American wild turkey.” - Excerpt from article in Atlanta Goodlife Magazine by Gale Horton Gay

“I had heard McCormick was popular for hunting and fishing. During my weekend of driving these country roads, I almost ran into one pheasant, four wild turkeys and several deer. I didn’t need much convincing that there’s ample wild game here… There are so many of nature’s treasures in McCormick County and I can’t wait to go back.” - Excerpt from article in Sandlapper Magazine by Dan Roccapriore
