Lexington County, South Carolina
Lexington County sits right in the middle of South Carolina, just west of the state capital Columbia. The county’s grown like crazy in recent years. Lots of new folks moving in, attracted by good schools and proximity to Columbia.
It’s a mix of suburban areas and rural charm. Lake Murray is a massive reservoir that takes up almost the entire northern half. Historians will dig the Lexington County Museum, which has a bunch of 19th-century buildings.
The area’s known for its peaches too. Nothing beats a fresh Lexington peach in the summer. While on the subject of peaches, don’t miss the Lexington County Peach Festival. It’s a local tradition going strong for over 60 years.
