Located on the shores of the Congaree River, just a short distance from Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, you’ll find the charming city of Cayce.
It’s home to one of the earliest European settlements in the Midlands, known then as the “back county”. This makes Cayce a great place to visit for history buffs, who will also enjoy exploring Fort Granby, an old trading post that was captured by the British during the American Revolution.
There is also the Cayce Historical Museum, which interprets the social, cultural, and agricultural heritage of Cayce, as well as several of its neighboring towns.
For nature lovers, the Cayce Riverwalk Park is a great place to stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air.
Cayce is also close to all the major attractions in Columbia, such as South Carolina State Museum and Columbia Canal and Riverfront Park.
Does this sound like the kind of place you’d like to visit? If so, continue reading for a list of all the other activities and attractions that Cayce has to offer so you can start planning your trip!
