Thousands of settlers flowed through this region like a river. It was part of the Great Wagon Road from the North and the Federal Road that carried travelers into the West. The diverse backgrounds of these individuals led to clashes and conflicts that played out over the landscape of the old South. Today, the character of Edgefield is captured for visitors in its downtown shopping district, countless historic sites, local eateries, and a thriving artisan community. Come explore Edgefield, the Gateway of Southern History!
The Town of Edgefield has a brand new online presence. The new website is meant to be used as both a tourism and community resource. Visitors can browse destinations by categories, find out information about upcoming events, download important forms or read interesting articles on the News Reel & Our Infamous History.
Both the new (www.ExploreEdgefield.com) and the past (www.edgefieldsc.net) will direct you to the new site. Many thanks go to everyone involved with the development of this website, which was made possible by the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor, The Town of Edgefield, The Tompkins Library (Old Edgefield Genealogical Society), Aiken HDR Photography, Jane Bess Photography and Edgefield County Archives & History.
The website was created in partnership with the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor as a part of a year-long agreement to increase tourism promotion for the Town of Edgefield. Future projects include a visitor's guide, downtown walking map and signage plan. Stay tuned!
If you have any suggested edits or additions to the new website, please email grace@scnhc.com.
