We went especially to see "The World at War" exhibit. It is finishing in August. It is a collection of memorabilia from WW2. It has uniforms and other military items. One of the interesting things to us were the common things people in the states had. There were war bonds and rationing books and stamps. There are some things that depict camp life at the army camp as well.
The other part of the museum is a gun and memorabilia museum that is part of a single collection which was donated to the museum from a long time resident. There are guns of all type and items of the earlier times in Camden. There is also an exhibit on how the Boykin spaniel came to be the SC state dog.
This a a research center and depends on donations so be sure to leave some in container in the front area. They are planning to have a capital campaign to enlarge the museum as it holds only a portion of the items donated. Friendly and helpful staff.

A local distillery that gives tours and samples. Their story is interesting and the fact that they use local ingredients is a plus. Not on the scale like the major distilleries but if you are in the area, worth a quick trip in. We were...MoreThanks for stopping in and thanks for the Review! See you again soon!

This is a privately owned little museum in the tiny village of Cope. It is still in the hands of the family that built and ran it, the Vallentine family, who also own the cotton gin next to it. It is not generally open, you have to inquire at the office of the cotton gin, which is across the street. Tours are conducted by that person's mother-in-law, but she would not like to have her personal info. published. She will tell you about all the items inside the store, and let you buy a soda pop from the old chest style dispenser.
There are also some items that have to do with cotton production that she can explain.
It is all meticulously kept and maintained in excellent condition. Tours are mainly for groups, especially children.

Reviewed By C D S - Columbia, South Carolina
Had read the newspaper article and was curious. Was very pleasantly surprised!! Took about 45 minutes and was a very easy trip. Pretty setting with lots of animals and antique farm equipment. Lunch started at 11:30. Was first come first served. Food was good. Inside seating consisted of two very long tables and there were tables outside. Lovely farm and B & B. Would definitely recommend and we will return.

We went over for the day and our guide was a young man named Cameron. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about what was going on during the war and made sure to throw in some little-known tidbits of information. We went out to the battlefield and walked both sides of the road to learn as much as we could. Great way to spend the day! Be sure you find the other sites in the city. If you stop by the old courthouse and pick up a map, you will find several other homes and smaller sites.

Reviewed By jlantern3 - Columbia, South Carolina
This is a nice little spot in rural South Carolina. great stop to experience country living. The old mill is a classic beauty. The broom shop and country store are classic-like stepping back in time. The restaurant has a good reputation for quality. The location has a historical story to it. A skirmish in The Civil War took place here. A nice monument to the famed Massachusetts 54th infantry is located here. The location is not that far off the interstate. If in the area-stop by and enjoy this peaceful stop.
7. Quaker Cemetery

In 1759, four acres of land were given to the quakers for 999 years for their church and cemetery. The rent was "one pepper corn per year". The cemetery has grown to about 50 acres. It's a beautiful old cemetery and you can tell the original quaker graves by the brick arches (they did not believe in headstones). They believed it was wrong to draw attention to yourself (even in death). One thing I noticed was some quaker graves now had headstones that the family put up at a later time. Should they have done this if the person buried didn't believe in doing it? That would make a good debate.

My wife and I took a carriage ride Labor Day weekend. There was a snafu with our reservations and our ride got delayed a couple of days. Anna was new (we were her third solo riders), but she did a good job. I am sure she will be even better as time goes on.
Give them a try. You'll enjoy the ride and history of Camden, the oldest inland city in South Carolina.

My family was attracted to this park for the canoeing experience. Rented a John Boat for $7 for 4 hours! What a great value!
We were warned before we set off to stay away from trees and bushes because of wasps. Man was that an understatement! We cut our boat trip short because EVERY tree and EVERY bush had wasp nests with angry wasps, ready to strike. Being HIGHLY allergic, this was very frightening. Luckily we were able to finish without incident.
Aside from the prevalence of wasps, the scenery was beautiful and there were plenty of quiet spaces to relax and take in undisturbed nature.

This place is well organized and full of collectibles. I took my time in each booth because there was so much to see. We found a figural decanter to add to our collection. The people working here were very nice and greeted us as we walked in. I'm always surprised at how many places don't do that.
