Kershaw County, South Carolina
Kershaw County is right in the middle of South Carolina, where the Midlands meet the Sandhills. If you’re looking for a slice of small-town America, this is it.
There’s also a side of Revolutionary War history here too. Camden, the oldest inland city in the state, is the county’s heart. It’s got more 18th and 19th-century homes than you can shake a stick at.
Outdoorsy types flock to Lake Wateree for fishing and boating. The county’s got a thing for horses too. Steeplechase racing is a big deal here. You’ll find pine forests and peach orchards, old cotton mills and new tech firms.
