Finding souvenirs is a fun travel activity, but it’s not always easy to distinguish one kitschy trinket from another. Instead, find a meaningful souvenir that feels unique to the Old 96 District – something you can proudly use or savor every day.
Souvenirs to Wear and Display
Discover a treasure from your time in the Old 96 District at one of these standout shops:
Sugar Boutique
Looking for a souvenir that makes a statement? Head to Sugar Boutique to find your wearable memento from your visit to Old 96 District. Whether it’s a new favorite dress or a colorful accessory that makes you smile when you catch a glimpse of it in the mirror, you’ll love saying, “Thanks, I got it in Greenwood,” every time someone compliments your stylish find.
Main & Maxwell
Perhaps Old 96 District’s most artful souvenirs can be found at Main & Maxwell. This shop curates works by over sixty artists across the region, meaning your purchase has the power to directly impact a local artist. Cultivate your next warm and fuzzy travel memory by sipping from a handmade mug or framing a new favorite piece of art that transports you right back to upstate South Carolina.
Souvenirs to Savor
What could be better than a souvenir you can eat? Indulge in these tasty treasures:
Pendleton Farms
Home cooks can’t miss a stop at Pendleton Farms in downtown Abbeville. This specialty store’s shelves are lined with ingredients ready to build your next Southern meal. Of course you’ll find grits here (this is South Carolina after all!), but you’ll also find other regional favorites like pepper jelly and barbecue sauce, as well as a selection of kitchen tools to help you get the job done.
The Bakery on Main
While some of The Bakery on Main’s delicious baked goods are best enjoyed immediately, many are perfect for the road. Rice crispy treats, savory snack mixes, and chewy oatmeal cream pies can all be savored right away or days after you return home – if they last that long!
Swartzentruber’s Bakery
With decades of baking experience, Swartzentruber’s Bakery offers cakes, pies, and other goodies ready to be packaged for your journey. Pick up a few hand pies or a loaf of savory bread for treats that are hard to find back home. If you’re worried about traveling with a whole pie, opt for the longer-lasting fruitcakes or explore the bakery’s grocery shelves for more portable delights.
