After the Revolutionary War, small towns across the South flourished—picturesque Pendleton among them. What began as a summer retreat soon became an agricultural stronghold, growing in both size and stature while keeping its welcoming spirit and timeless charm. Today, its historic town square remains a gathering place, where festivals fill the air with music and local cafés hum with conversation. Just minutes from Clemson University, Pendleton offers a relaxed, small-town rhythm steeped in history. Surrounded by lakes, rolling farmland, and the Blue Ridge foothills, it’s a place where every street tells a story and each season brings something new. For major shopping and conveniences, Anderson is just a short drive away.
Downtown Pendleton’s walkable streets invite you to slow down and take in the moment. Savor a delicious pot roast at Raines on Exchange Bar and Grill, or indulge in seasonal dishes at 1826 Bistro on the Green, a local favorite located in the historic Farmers’ Hall. For those drawn to unique finds, Newtique Boutique delights with curiously compelling gifts, while The Mercantile offers an eclectic mix of games, décor, and trinkets. Museums and galleries further enrich the town’s character, blending rustic charm with artistic expression.
Pendleton’s landscapes invite exploration in every season. Just beyond town, the Blue Ridge Mountains stretch toward the sky, their ridgelines framing a world of waterfalls, winding trails, and breathtaking overlooks. Answer the call of the wild with a hike up Table Rock Mountain or a scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. For days on the water, the shimmering expanse of Lake Hartwell is a haven for boating, fishing, and lakeside picnics. Closer to home, Veterans Park offers trails for quiet strolls, a playground where laughter lightens the mood, and a memorial that invites a moment of reflection. In Pendleton, the outdoors isn’t just a destination—it’s a way of life.
Pendleton shines in the orbit of Clemson, home to South Carolina’s most celebrated university. Here, Saturdays belong to Tigers football, where the energy of tailgates and stadium cheers fill the air. Beyond game day, Clemson’s eclectic downtown offers local cafés and college-town favorites. For work and weekend outings, Greenville sits just 30 minutes away via I-85, where major employers like General Electric and Michelin fuel a strong economy. Whether you’re rallying behind the Tigers or tapping into career options, Pendleton keeps you close to it all.
