On the front, " The McLeod Infirmary was located here in 1906, inspired by the need to provide access to local medical and surgical care for people of the region. Frank Hilton McLeod was born in Richmond Co., N.C. in 1868 and graduated from the Univ. of Tennessee Medical School. In 1891, he moved to Florence and chartered the Florence Infirmary. By the 1920s it was the third largest hospital in the state. On the back, "In 1930, with the assistance of the Duke Endowment, McLeod Infirmary became a non-profit institution. A new building opened in 1935 and expanded capacity to 190 beds. Renamed McLeod Memorial Hospital in 1971, expansion continued when 14 blocks of Urban Renewal land were acquired just east of this location. The new McLeod Regional Medical Center opened in 1979 with over 300." The marker is next to the parking lot of the Florence County Museum so there is plenty of parking to view.

The subsequent courthouse, built 1903-1904, was in use until 1964 when the present structure was completed." This structuring houses the County Circuit Court of the 4th Judicial Circuit. It is a six-story brick, concrete, stone and glass structure. The roofline is flat. It's basically a big square cube with vertical stripes of windows and brick bands.

Cinco De Mayo Fiesta

It's a celebration of the Mexican victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla. It's odd that it's more of a celebration in the U.S. than it is in Mexico. I guess we just alway look for something to celebrate. The one in Florence is on the 100 block of Dargon Street and features numerous food trucks, live entertainment, children's fun zone, a Chihuahua costume contest and Chihuahua race. Of course beer is a available as well. This festival mark the beginning of Florence After Five where a block party is held in the same location the final Friday of every month throughout the summer. The proceeds for Cinco de Mayo Fiesta benefit Habitat for Humanity.

Affiliated with the local college, this free site is both a manicured arboretum and a fantastic blackwater creek. Extensive boardwalks run across and along the creek, which had a vigorous current in parts. Hiking down the bluffs is quick, but there is no hint of road noise and it feels quite wild, and the aesthetic is similar to some other top SC destinations like Congaree or the Edisto river. I would certainly suggest that anyone visiting the region seek such an experience. The forest canopy makes for a comforting temperature, and the sounds, the air, and the sights are quite memorable.

Swamp Fox Chili Cookoff

Marion, South Carolina has a chili cook off every year towards the end of February. The name "Swamp…read moreFox" is in honor of Marion's namesake Francis Marion who was known as the Swamp Fox during the Revolutionary War. The chili cook off features a corn hole tournament, classic car show, vendor booths, live band, and of course, the chili cook off. 2025 featured 13 contestants which I believe is up from last year. It costs $10.00 to get a sample from each contestant and you also get three kidney beans to vote for your favorites. Several types of sodas and beer are available for purchase which you purchase with tickets. We've always had a good time here and being that it's located in beautiful historic Marion, it's just steps away from some unique shops. We'll be back again next year.

This front nine was pretty flat and free of major obstacles. Back nine was much more fun and challenging with many water based holes. All in all fun course and worth the $40. I spoke to a member who said the course wasn't in great shape right now, so I'm guessing in a few more months it will be stunning. Stop in the grill for great service and tasty food. DO NOT buy a cigar here, though. The humidor hydrometer was broken, and against my better judgement, I still grabbed a cigar. The Flor De Las Antilles is one of my favorite smokes - but it was so dry it cracked 3 inches up when I did the V cut. Bitter and stale - maybe nobody smokes there so they don't feel the pressure to maintain it. Anyways - I'll visit again for sure, but I'll bring my own sticks.
