Pendleton Historic Foundation

Have some historical fun today, November 5, 2026. Woodburn is open from 10-1 for walk-in tours. The Guard House, Pendleton's own official SC Welcome Center, is open today from 3-5. Why not visit both and learn some local history about real families that made a difference in this state and nation? Come for the history. Stay for the stories. Unfortunately, Ashtabula remains closed until Sunday when one tour will be offered at 2. Woodburn will offer one tour on Sunday at 3:30. Walk-in house tours are five dollars for ages 5-18 and ten dollars for adults. Cash or check only, please. Dress for the weather as our museum houses have no climate control. The Guard House is free to visit.

It's Wednesday, November 4, 2026, and the Pendleton Historic Foundation has things for you to do. We need volunteers for all sorts of activities, but we really need docents to lead tours of our houses. We also want you to take a tour of one of our historic homes. Ashtabula is not open for walk-in tours this week until Sunday for one tour at 2. Woodburn is open on Thursday and Friday from 10-1 and on Sunday for one tour at 3:30. We have two more open dates for our Ghost Tours, November 13 and 14, at Woodburn. Please secure your space before these last dates sell out, too. If you want a beautiful venue for your event, consider renting the Jenkins House. And please visit the Guard House, Pendleton's own official SC Welcome Center on Thursday and Friday. Visit our website at pendletonhistoricfoundation.org for more information.

Ashtabula will be open on Sunday, November 8, for one tour at 2, and Woodburn will be open on Thursday and Friday from 10-1 for walk-in tours and on Sunday, November 8, for one tour at 3:30. The true history of our local area and families awaits. Tours are five dollars for ages 5-18 and ten dollars for adults. Cash or check only, please.

Friday the 13th. What are your plans? The Pendleton Historic Foundation invites you to take one of our last Ghost Tours of the year at Woodburn Farm on November 13th or 14th. November 13th would be so spooky. You never know who or what you might see. Come find out.
Tickets, which are 30 dollars per person, may be purchased on our website pendletonhistoricfoundation.org. This is not your grandma's haunted house. No one under 16 allowed. Not for the weak of heart.

The Pendleton Historic Foundation (PHF) needs YOU. We are so grateful to our many visitors and all of our current volunteers, but we always need more volunteers for a variety of jobs. We can match the volunteer job to your preferences and skill set. Right now, we particularly need house docents to give tours of our historic homes. Contact pendletonhistoricfoundation.org for information. You may call 864-646-7249. You may also contact Ellen Harrison at [email protected]. Please consider joining us. We welcome your interest.
