Originally built as a place for wealthy plantation owners and Charlestonians to escape the scorching heat of the Low Country, Flat Rock is a historic village fondly nicknamed "The Little Charleston of the Mountains." The town is still a great place to beat the summer heat, but it's worth a visit for the architecture alone. The entire village district holds a place on the National Register of Historic Places, but some of the most impressive buildings include the Carl Sandburg Home, the beautiful Episcopal church, and the Flat Rock Playhouse, which still hosts high-quality theater productions today.
