SCTOWNS | Palmetto Places

Discover the Small Towns

Meet the People… Share the Stories!

South Carolina is more than beaches, attractions, and interstate exits. Beyond the tourist destinations are hundreds of small towns filled with remarkable people doing remarkable things every day.

SCTOWNS | Palmetto Places is dedicated to exploring those communities, celebrating local businesses, preserving hometown character, and sharing the stories that make the Palmetto State special.

Along the way you'll find:

  • Small-town adventures

  • Hidden treasures and local traditions

  • Original South Carolina cartoons

  • Palmetto Silhouettes

  • Caricatures of hometown personalities

  • Historic places and community landmarks

  • Local shops, farms, restaurants, and family businesses

  • The people who make South Carolina feel like home

Whether we're visiting Locklear Farm Store in Gaston, a café in Bamberg, a gallery in Aiken, or a country store you've never heard of, our mission is simple:

Tell the stories that deserve to be told.

Meet the Faces of Small-Town South Carolina

One of our favorite projects is creating original caricatures of local merchants, business owners, community leaders, and the hometown characters who frequent those place.

When we visit a town, we often create complimentary caricatures for selected local personalities and feature them here on SCTOWNS.

Many of these caricatures become part of our growing collection of hometown artwork celebrating South Carolina's people and places.

You'll soon meet farmers, shopkeepers, restaurant owners, artists, pastors, craftsmen, volunteers, and everyday South Carolinians whose stories deserve a little spotlight.

Because some towns have restaurants and festivals—and every small town has a few local legends.
