You'll Never Run Out Of Things To Do In This Tiny South Carolina Town

The ruins are open from dawn to dusk. You'll enjoy the drive on Old Sheldon Road as much as your visit to this sacred place.

It offers a glimpse into rural life outside the major metropolitan areas in the Palmetto State.

The Yemassee area's history runs deep and is full of extensive involvement in both the Civil and Revolutionary Wars. Sherman's shameless march to the sea from Georgia brought his troops through Yemassee, where many of the churches were destroyed.

It's kept up nicely and is still in operation via Amtrak. According to one source, the Town of Yemassee purchased the building in 2010 for one dollar. It was then restored to how it looked in the 1940s.

For many Marines during this period, their military careers began here at Yemassee Station. It's estimated that at least a half million recruits passed through this station on their way to Parris Island.

The story of Lucky Duck Distillery couldn't be more touching - and inspiring.

His tasting room and distillery is located in a renovated old shed on the property of his grandfather's old plumbing business. Read more about Chase's story here. Tastings are offered to those 21 and over Tues. through Sat. by reservation.

It's also called the Stoney Creek Independent Presbyterian Chapel of Prince William Parish and is located four miles west of Yemassee. It was the only church here spared by Sherman's march during the Civil War.

That's because it was being used by the Union Army as a hospital and campsite. Reportedly, there are still blood stains on the floor of this circa 1833 chapel.

Another noteworthy reason to visit Stoney Creek Presbyterian Church: It was used as a set in the movie "Forrest Gump." You'll see it in the scene where Forrest and the choir pray together for shrimp. Here's the Google Maps location of the church. Note: may be on private property.

This 321-acre plantation was designed and built by the famous architect. Completed around 1950, the main house famously has no square corners.

It is only open for tours on RARE occasions. The last one - in the fall of 2015 - raised money for the Beaufort Open Land Trust. It's a fairly extensive estate and not much can be seen from the road, but if you want to drive by and just gawk, then here's the Google Maps location.

Located at 18 Lane Street in Yemassee, the Le Creuset Outlet Store is a must-do or you'll have to surrender your apron forever.

But once you get over the initial kid-in-a-candy-store reaction it's a great shopping experience.

It's just sitting at the end of North Church, looking perfect and waiting for you and your camera to arrive.

Instantly recognizable, this old-timey country store has more than cider.

The family that owns these stores has been producing and selling ciders for four generations. You can also find other great Lowcountry-produced items, like jams and candies here.

Firstly, it's historically significant. Secondly, the grounds are gorgeous. And thirdly, the museum and gift shop are pretty neat.

Stop by the ICONIC restaurant, Harold's Country Club, located inside this converted filling station at 97 Highway 17 & 21 in Yemassee.

You'll marvel at all the colorful collections adorning the walls of this restaurant. In 2011, it was featured in Travel Magazine in an article titled "The South's Best Undiscovered Steakhouses."

I'll have mine medium-rare, please.
