South Carolina doesn’t have many Amish churches or communities. But within the small town of Blackville, although the entire population isn’t Amish, a good many are – and many of the businesses are, too. If you love everything Amish, a day trip to Blackville is certainly in order. Take a look at a few of the things to see and do in this tiny town.
Blackville is a small, close-knit, community located approximately 45 minutes northeast of Augusta, GA.

The members of Calvary Fellowship Mennonite Church have never met a stranger they didn’t welcome. The church was formed in the 1960s and is located at 2326 Jones Bridge Road.

Right in the middle of town on Main Street, Miller’s Bread Basket is an Amish-Mennonite restaurant and bakery you’ll want to visit (we recommend lunch time!).

Over on Healing Spring Road sits the Healing Springs Country Store.

It’s operated by the local Mennonites and is filled to the brim with dry goods, fresh preserves, canned items (in jars), and some locally-made crafts. They also serve food!

Look forward to browsing their homemade remedies, including this signature lye soap created to keep the no-seeums and mosquitoes at bay. (I’ll take one, please!)

Speaking of home remedies, it’s not Amish-related, but the South’s famous God’s Acre Healing Springs is worthy of a visit during any day trip to Blackville.

The spring has been the source of water for healing whatever ails you for quite a long time. Upon the death of the last owner, it was deeded to God so that it would always be available to everyone (for free!) to partake in the healing properties of the water from this spring.

Bring containers and fill them all! God’s Acre Healing Springs is located at the junction of Highway 3 and Healing Springs Road.
