Elloree is a quaint historic town in Orangeburg County, located along the banks of beautiful Lake Marion. The town is named for an indigenous American word for "the home I love," known as a major regional business hub since the Civil War era, when its rural settlements were transformed by businessman William J. Snider.

Today, visitors can peruse its historic downtown district, which is home to lovely antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, and delicious Southern-style restaurants. The Elloree Heritage Museum and Cultural Center showcases exhibits on South Carolina's rural past, including its founding and development by Snider. Each year, the town hosts a number of annual special events.
