Endless Adventure
Whether you’re drawn to the peace and quiet of the great outdoors, the thrill of hunting, fishing, and motorsports, or the spectatorship of year-round sporting events played at the highest level, Fairfield County is smack in the middle – or just a short drive away – from every bit of it.
Local Attractions
Naturally, a wide variety of local attractions appeals to a wide variety of people, and the residents of Fairfield County welcome all with a smile and willingness to share. Wherever you go – be it the Railroad Museum, the Town Clock, or a charming bed and breakfast – friendly locals will greet you along the way.
Where to Shop
Head to downtown Winnsboro or Ridgeway to check out artist studios, gift shops, antique stores, and a 1840s hardware store that’s hardly changed a bit since its inception. If you’re looking for mall or shopping center environment, nearby Columbia and Charlotte are home to a variety of national and local retailers.
