Fort Mill Downtown Historic District
Like so many small towns in South Carolina, Fort Mill is experiencing a revival of its historic business district. The commercial buildings along Main Street—built after the railroad came to town in 1852—are home to a fun collection of restaurants and shops, among them the famed PuckerButt Pepper Company where you can buy the hottest pepper in the world.
Many of the structures have been restored, revealing vestiges of their past life, including a century-old Pepsi-Cola advertising mural that now looms over diners at The Improper Pig.
The burgeoning corridor, which includes the circa 1904 Confederate Park and bandstand, has become a venue for town-sponsored events like Trick or Treat on Main Street, the Christmas Parade, Lighting of the Tree and the July Third Celebration, featuring food trucks, live music, fireworks and the annual firing of two Civil War-era cannons at Confederate Park.
