593 Lake Drive, Bamberg

Welcome to 42 acres of picturesque landscape situated on Lake Dr in Bamberg, South Carolina. Bamberg, a town that traces its roots back to the late 19th century, emerged as a thriving community driven by the railroad industry. Founded in 1897, this coastal plain region became a significant commercial center for farming and plantations. Bamberg's rich history includes noteworthy achievements like the submarine spar torpedo experiments conducted by Dr. Francis F Carroll at Clear Pond, located just nine miles outside of town. During the early 20th century, Bamberg proudly stood as the most active cotton market between Augusta and Charleston, fueling the region's economic prosperity. However, the onset of the boll weevil in 1921 marked the end of this prosperous era, bringing challenges to the local economy. Nonetheless, Bamberg's resilience shines through, as exemplified by the inclusion of its 1880 through 1930 residential area in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Bamberg also knows how to celebrate its heritage and embrace cultural events. In 2001, the town hosted its inaugural Antiques Treasure Fest, an event that showcases antiques and collectibles while offering visitors a delicious barbeque cook-off.
