South Carolina has an infamous history associated with the slave trade, and its many forts, jailhouses, plantations, and other historic remnants are a testament to this dark era. You can learn more about this part of its history at The Magnolia Cabin Project. If vacationing in Pickens, check out Lake Jocassee, a reservoir that offers a great picnic spot. The Marion County Museum features rotating exhibits, local antiques, oriental rugs, and other displays. The South Carolina Railroad Museum in Fairfield County is another must-visit attraction where you can view diesel engines and freight cars while learning about the county’s railroad industry. Yellow Branch Falls in Oconee County is another gorgeous attraction. Looking for a tranquil stay in this beautiful state?
