Union County, South Carolina

Union County is right in the middle of South Carolina’s Upstate. Small towns, big hearts – that’s what you’ll find here. The Broad River runs along its eastern border, perfect for a lazy float on a hot day.
This place has seen its share of history. Revolutionary War battles were fought on this soil. You can still visit some of the sites. The county’s named after the old Union Church, where different denominations worshipped together. Talk about community spirit.
These days, Union’s known for its festivals. The Uniquely Union Festival draws crowds every fall. Barbecue’s a big deal here. Locals argue over who’s got the best sauce. The Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site is worth a visit. It’s a window into the antebellum South. Despite its size, Union County’s got plenty to offer.
