In honor of Get Out Of The House Day (July 18th) here are some activities to motivate you and your family to Get Out and have some fun outside in and around the tri-county.
Go Out to One of the many Parks
The Tri-County has many opportunities ranging from a park to have a casual stroll to camping. If anyone wants to get out the house and enjoy nature, but don’t want to leave the Tri-County there is Glencairn Gardens with its beautiful flowers. For those looking to go for a hike there is Anne Springs Close Greenway to explore. There are also great camping sites like Andrew Jackson State Park or Ebenezer Park for those who want to get away.
Explore Downtown
Rock Hill and Fort Mill’s downtowns have lots of interesting restaurants and shops that one can spend hours just exploring. There is also cool history about the cities spread throughout the downtowns, like the Friendship Nine featured in Rock Hill (near the Kounter Restaurant). One can see how the cities have changed over time and really get to the heart of what makes Rock Hill or Fort Mill the communities they are today.
Go to Historic Brattonsville
For those history lovers in the tri-county, they can visit this historical property, where Huck’s Defeat took place during the American Revolutionary War. Visitors can see how the house and farm were run and see the exhibit on the African American community and their struggles for freedom.
