Aynor, known as the “Little Golden Town,” is located in the Western part of Horry County. This small rural town is only 35 miles from the popular Grand Strand area along the coast. Tobacco was a way of life for many decades in rural South Carolina towns, and old abandoned barns are a common sight. Even though this former cash crop is no longer king in our state, the rich history of the tobacco era still lingers in the countrysides.

There is an old tobacco barn on the land adjoining mine. How would I go about finding out how old it is? I live in Colleton County.
Thanks

Hi Vicki! A good place to start would be on our Colleton County Libraries and Archives section. Hopefully this will get you started in the right direction.

Being a graduate of Conway Elementary Middle and High School, I always joked that Aynor was a one stop light town … don’t blink you will miss it! Both of my sisters went to school in Aynor – cool painting!
