One of jazz’s biggest names started right here in the OED 🎺

Before he became Dizzy Gillespie, John Birks Gillespie was just a kid from Cheraw.

Visit Dizzy Gillespie Homesite Park, built on the site of his childhood home, where his legacy is woven into the park itself.

October 15-18, Cheraw celebrates its hometown legend with the South Carolina Jazz Festival. 🎷

There’s a corner of Lancaster where the wine’s already pouring, and on September 26, the beer will be too. 🍇🍺

Sip your way through a tasting, then settle in for a meal at The Vineyard Table. Stroll the vines. Soak up the lake views. Or stay the night and make a whole weekend of it.

Laurel Haven Estate is opening its new craft brewery during Oktoberfest on September 26, giving you one more reason to linger a little longer.

This is wine country, Carolina style. And it just keeps getting better. ✨

🏛️ Trail Tuesday: Revolutionary War Visitor Center

Start your journey where the story begins.

Before hitting the Backcountry Revolution Trail, make Camden your first stop. The Revolutionary War Visitor Center lays out the bigger picture of the Southern Campaign, from British strategy and Patriot militia resistance to key battles and the communities caught in between.

It’s the perfect primer for understanding how Camden, Hanging Rock, Kings Mountain and the Waxhaws all connect to the larger story of the Revolution in the backcountry.

And speaking of stories, our first episode of Olde Stories, New Voices is coming this month! 🎙️ Stay tuned for a whole new way to experience this history.
