Things To Do & See

Abbeville is a taste of yesteryear with it's cobblestone main square and historic architecture is like a travel in time back to the old south. The courthouse on the square once belonged to Revolutionary war leader Andrew Pickens. It also was the site that John C. Calhoun launched his political career. If you love history and or have a fascination with ghosts you will enjoy the annual "Ghost Walk" Abbeville is said to have numerous tales of old homes and buildings inhabited by what they say can only be ghosts of the past
 

 The small historic town is both charming and proud of it's historic roots. One famous land mark is The Opera House Many "road companies" toured from New York to Atlanta, with the Opera House as an overnight stop. Between 1908 and 1913, Abbevillians enjoyed approximately 260 live performances on the magnificent Opera restored to its turn-of-the-century condition with two exceptions - the addition of air Many "road companies" toured from New conditioning and rocking chair seats. Listed on The  National Register and is the only "Hemphouse" remaining in  South Carolina



Another must see is The Old Trinity Church, built in 1860 and noted for its Gothic Revival architecture. When you walk through the doors of this historic landmark you are taken back in time and can almost see the men,women and children of the past as they might have been seated in the old pews. Beautiful stained glass windows absolutely take your breath away.
