South Carolina is no stranger to tourism. From mountains to sea, this state has more activities to keep a family busy than anyone could ever possibly experience in a single lifetime. But when it comes to one type of attraction, there is only one like it in the entire state. The South Carolina Railroad Museum, located in Winnsboro, offers the ONLY purely scenic operational railway in all of South Carolina.
The options include either an open-air car, so you can feel the wind in your hair, or seating within the historical passenger car, where you'll feel like you've stepped back in time.
The steam train excursions are few and far between and can be among the most popular of the special events the museum hosts each year. Translation: get your tickets early, if you really want to go.
