1.Glencairn Garden
What was originally the backyard garden of David & Hazel Bigger in 1928 grew into an 11-acre beautifully landscaped Glencairn Garden located in downtown Rock Hill, South Carolina. The Garden has a range of plants that blooms year round, including azaleas, wisteria, dogwoods, camellias, and several species of hardwood trees. There are verdant lawns and paved trails that meander among the lush greenery. Although it varies from year to year, the peak blooming season is usually between late March and early April. The Garden inspired the Rock Hill’s annual Come-See-Me Festival, a popular 10-day event that is held every spring at Glencairn Garden and several other Rock Hill sites.

The Pump House is a sophisticated riverfront restaurant in Rock Hill, South Carolina, located in an industrial pump house built in the 1940s to filter river water. Executive Chef Michael Griswold gives southern food his own twist, so good old favorites that the guests insist on come in his own versión: shrimp and Anson Mills grits come with sweet peppers and tasso ham in a creole-style white wine cream sauce. Fried green tomatoes come with pimento cheese and smoked poblano ranch; pork belly is served with sorghum glaze and red cabbage chowchow and duck confit comes with butternut squash, sweet peppers, fennel, and sage gnocchi. The cocktails are also interesting, the wine list extensive and imaginative and there are plenty of local craft beers. The rooftop bar offers fabulous views of the Catawba River.’
