Fall Creativity Awaits You in Fort Mill & Indian Land
By Amanda Lea

Divided by Sugar Creek and connected by Hwy. 160, Fort Mill and Indian Land are two South Carolina towns that offer complementary views of old and new. 

From its textile roots and railroad ties, Fort Mill’s roots run deep. Each building and park in the downtown area has a story to share.

Business has been booming in Indian Land over the last few years, with exciting growth that continues to build a solid collection of local restaurant, retail and recreational offerings.

You can spend the day exploring highlights in both areas, but there’s plenty to see to keep you coming back. Click here (or the button below) to embark on your creative tour of Fort Mill and Indian Land.
