Croghan in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. And it’s really no wonder why! The setting, alone, makes the trip worth it. You see, the flea market sets up under a grove of mature pecan and live oak trees and so the views are nearly as glorious as the shade.

It's found right on Highway 9, which runs between Pageland and Mt. Croghan, a tiny South Carolina town of fewer than 200 residents. On warm weather Sundays, though, the town's population swells as folks flood into the flea market.
The setting alone is gorgeous.

At that time there was a family home, sawmill, and blacksmith belonging to the Taylor family. However, when General William Tecumseh Sherman came marching through with the Union Army, everything was burned to the ground. Betcha didn’t think you were going to get a history lesson too!
Despite the destruction, the Taylor family has still owned the property for five generations.
