Why

Join the Journey!
Make a Difference
Heritage tourism development aids in this struggle by assisting
in economic growth and also the residents’ sense of well-being
and pride. It brings attention to local cultural, historic and
natural resources and stimulates an evaluation of their meaning
and importance to the community. The interest of visitors from
outside a community causes local residents to “look” at what is
theirs, giving them a sense of pride and thus the drive to
protect those resources. Your support can make this happen.
Your Contribution to Existing Efforts
By pooling resources, services and marketing, a critical mass of
attractions and services can be established and effective
promotions can be implemented. Local resources are organized and
developed along designated trails and themes of the Corridor to
provide destinations that illustrate local stories and entertain
visitors. These locations feature cultural, natural and
historical assets to tell the story of the area. You can help
share this story with the residents and visitors of the Heritage
Corridor.

We Match Your Assistance
As a National Heritage Area, the SC National Heritage Corridor
receives federal funding that must be matched by other non-federal
sources. Through assistance from state agencies, grant programs and
your investment we are able to match those funds. With your
assistance, the SCNHC has potential to leverage an additional $5
million in the rural communities of this state by 2006.
You Can Help
With your generous gift to our program, you can help support the
communities and residents of rural South Carolina. Help preserve,
protect and share the distinctive natural and beautiful landscapes;
the cherished, endearing and unique stories and way of life of the
people; and the legacy left to us by our wonderful, rich and
sometimes controversial past.
