Just north of Columbia, South Carolina, lies the little-known town of Winnsboro. Often called the “Charleston of the Upcountry,” this quaint small town is rich in historical tradition. Victorian buildings are scattered throughout the city, and much of the business district is listed in the National Historic Register. One can view the town clock, visit the Railroad Museum, or experience southern hospitality at a relaxing bed and breakfast. On the surface, Winnsboro appears to be a quiet and picturesque southern community.
