Ten Amazing Things To Do In Bluffton, SC
Little historic “downtown” Bluffton is easy to miss if you’re moving too quickly. This charming village resting in its moss draped finery on the the banks of the May River is a mecca for history lovers, antique aficionados, and art enthusiasts. Many Blufftonians will tell you that “Bluffton is a state of mind” and indeed it is – a state where the sun shines brightly, the streets are shaded by old oak trees, and the locals and visitors alike enjoy passing the time in a rocking chair on a front porch with a pitcher of cold sweet tea or maybe a little stronger libation. Bluffton came into being as a spot for the families of planters in the late 1700’s escaping the heat of the Lowcountry summers. The breezes off the river in the days before air conditioning made the hot days more bearable. It survived burning by Union General Sherman during the Civil War, hurricanes, and economic depression, and remains today as the heart of the Lowcountry. So stay a while and enjoy the food and the fun of this gem of a little Southern town.
