The Anderson County Museum was an unexpected "find" on our trip through the area. It is charming, well laid out, and full of beautiful exhibits. We spent about two hours there and could've stayed longer except we needed to be on our way elsewhere. And it's free (donations gratefully accepted.)

We were camping at the KOA campground and had a couple of hours to spare so we decide to visit Split Creek Farm. We listen to some facts about goats that they were telling to a school group. and then we went around by ourselves. We saw some of the goats that were young and able to pet the older goats. Bought some goat fudge at the store And enjoyable hour.

Phenomenal consistent customer service, best in the state. Chris, Cody, and James are great to work with in the trading post or the main store! I've shopped here for years and will go here before I go anywhere else for that main reason. Great store and great people!

We flew into Myrtle Beach last Sunday morning and were early enough to find a church to visit. Newspring takes GREAT care of their visitors. Worship was amazing and Pastor Brad gave an excellent message. Very similar to our home church, Grace, in Wooster, OH.
