Newberry

Newberry is a small city located in the Piedmont region of South Carolina. The downtown area features historic buildings, green spaces, and local shops that make up its core.

The area was settled by European colonists beginning in the 1750s, primarily from German, Scots-Irish, and English backgrounds. It became the county seat in 1789 and developed as a regional center.

The Opera House, Museum, and Arts Center serve as gathering places where visitors can watch performances and see local art exhibitions. These spaces shape how the community celebrates creativity and brings people together throughout the year.

The downtown area is easy to explore on foot and offers lodging options ranging from historic bed-and-breakfasts to modern hotels. The Firehouse Conference Center serves as a helpful reference point for events and visitor information.

Tucked among the historic buildings downtown is a Japanese garden that offers a quiet escape. Nearby, a greenhouse operation grows thousands of orchids in a collection that surprises many visitors.
