Description
Historic Village of Flat Rock began when affluent Charlestonians, Europeans and prominent plantation owners of the South's low country built large summer estates in the English manner. The families of South Carolina's Low Country came to Flat Rock to escape the sweltering heat and the epidemic of yellow fever and malaria. South Carolina's Low Country gentry affectionately called Flat Rock The Little Charleston of the Mountains. The entire district of Flat Rock is included in the National Register of Historic Places. Historic Flat Rock is home to several attractions such as: The Flat Rock Playhouse, State Theatre of NC; the Carl Sandburg Home NHS; and St. John in the Wilderness Episcopal Church as well as many unique specialty shops, restaurants, and enterprises. The buildings along Greenville Highway are painted in lively pastel colors, very similar to the famous Rainbow Row in downtown Charleston. Many of Flat Rock's attractions may be found along Greenville Highway (Hwy. 225), approximately 3 miles from Downtown Hendersonville.
