Things to Do in South Carolina: Southern Roadside Stops

South Carolina state flag

South Carolina brings Southern charm with a side of weird—UFO welcome centers, giant peaches, and kazoo museums. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
