Woodburn

Woodburn is a house in Pendleton featuring Greek Revival architecture defined by symmetrical design, prominent white columns, large windows, and a centered entrance. The interior spaces retain their original layout and demonstrate classical proportions characteristic of the style.

The building was constructed in 1830 during a period of agricultural expansion and economic growth in Anderson County. It was built when the region was shaped by plantation-based prosperity and developing infrastructure.

The house shows how wealthy landowners lived and what they valued in their homes during the 1800s in this region. Visitors see original furnishings and decorations that reflect the daily life and tastes of that era.

The house is reachable from Pendleton by traveling west on Woodburn Road. Visitors should check ahead with the Anderson County Historical Society about tour availability and current access conditions.

Each room preserves its original paint colors and wallpapers from 1830, something rarely seen in historic homes. This allows visitors to experience the house much as it appeared during its earliest years.
