Experience the Beauty of the Changing Leaves with a Ride Through Spartanburg County
|
The temperatures are falling and the leaves are changing. Fall in the south is one of the most beautiful times of the year and a ride through Spartanburg County along the Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway (Highway 11) is the perfect place to view the beauty of the changing leaves. This road is often referred to as the “roof” of South Carolina. It is the northernmost highway in the state, running from Cherokee County in the east, near the North Carolina state line all the way to Oconee County in the west, near the Georgia state line.

Step Back in Time to the American Revolution at FestiFall at Walnut Grove Plantation 2010
|
Experience the American Revolution (without the bullets) through historic re-enactments and demonstrations at FestiFall. The War was in full swing in 1780 when “Bloody Bill” Cunningham attacked the Plantation. Watch Cunningham and his band of Tories raid the plantation and kill three Patriots as Kate Moore Barry rides to warn her husband and his troops of the attack. Her heroic actions saved the house to become a historic showcase with legendary stories of the settlers who called this area home.
