History is alive and well in Lancaster, South Carolina, the Red Rose City. Established in the mid 1700’s by Scotch-Irish and English settlers from the region of the famous House of Lancaster, this area was viewed as a “Garden of Eden.” Over the years, the area has hosted two wars on its soil and has nurtured several famous native sons, Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, and William R. Davie, ambassador to France and founder of the University of North Carolina. Naturally there’s much to see and to do in Lancaster.
