Lee County reflects the impact that “King Cotton”
has had on this area for over two centuries. The South Carolina Cotton Trail™ begins in Bishopville at the South Carolina Cotton Museum and winds its way
through Pee Dee Country past fields of snow white cotton bolls in the Fall. In
October, the county celebrates the cotton harvest with an annual Cotton
Festival. Historic architecture and unique gardens reflect the grandeur of cotton’s glory days. From artesian wells, Arabian horses and alpacas to an
extraordinary topiary garden, the county has a variety of appealing places to
visit. Lee County is also home to several parks and the Lee State Natural Area
with 2,800 acres of pristine wetlands for outdoor activities.
