Pendleton SC Is The Best Place To Live And This Is Why I Think So

I have written a lot about my hometown of Pendleton South Carolina and it is mainly because I want the whole world to know what a wonderful place it is.

Now, I am not encouraging everyone to move here but would love to have you come for a visit. You see, I don't want my small historic hometown to become a huge metropolis but I do want it to thrive. So a few of you reading this are welcome to come settle here and purchase one of the lovely homes for sale. You will be treated with a southern hospitality like you have never known. For everyone else, I invite you to come for a visit, enjoy our history, happenings and hospitality along with our quaint shops and restaurants. I think you will be glad you did.

So, why do I think Pendleton South Carolina is the best place to live. Here are my Top Ten reasons (not in any particular order)!

3. Pendleton SC Is Rich In History

Pendleton was founded in 1790 and the downtown area is on the historic register. I have always been interested in history and Pendleton has done a magnificent job of preserving our precious history.

Janet Baughman's Mandy Books take place in Pendleton in the 1800's. These books are fiction but have a lot of interesting history information and it is clear that Janet had done a lot of research on Pendleton.

Fictional Short Story by Patrick Brian Miller- Search December 2009 for the Ohme Story

Author Patrick Brian Miller of the Southeastern Literary Tourism Initiative has written a fictional short story about Ohme and Pendleton. It is amazing that this talented author was able to capture the spirit of Pendleton without ever visiting our town. He did a lot of research and is extremely creative. I think you will enjoy this story on his blog - click this link to read the entire story. Click here to visit his blog and if you would like to read the Ohme Story, it was posted December 2009.
