5 Must See South Carolina Stops On Highway 78

Chris Michaels June 1st

The Midwest might have Route 66, but I think many of the places and people along U.S. Highway 78 in South Carolina make for a great day trip that will take you all the way to Charleston!

  • Blackville

    There are two stops I recommend. One is in town, the other a few miles off 78 on Highway 3.

    Miller’s Breadbasket – Amish/Mennonite Home Cooking

    MBB2

    God’s Healing Springs – If you like COLD water and history this is worth the visit. Bring a cooler and get in line!

    God's Acre Healing Springs, Blackville, South Carolina

    Blackville, South Carolina Every road trip needs a rest stop for refreshment -- and you probably won't find a better one than God's Acre Healing Springs, where the beverage is not only tasty, but free. And healing. The Healing Springs earned their reputation during the Revolutionary War.

  • Denmark

    Jim Harrison Gallery – Stop in and check out some of his original paintings as well as prints from Mr. Harrison’s more than thirty-year career as an artist. It’s easy to find on South Main Street
