Aiken earned a reputation during its first hundred years as “a place for a splendid time to be had.” Those words still ring true today. With its rich heritage, thriving downtown, equestrian competitions, year-round recreational sports, history, arts, unique shopping, dining, hiking, fishing and a host of other ventures, Aiken has something for everyone. The old and new blend perfectly, providing an atmosphere that suits almost any taste, ranging from families to young adults and retirees. Aiken is also home to Hitchcock Woods, America’s largest urban forest with more than 2,100 acres of lush trees. It will just take one visit for you to discover what people who live here already know: Aiken County is a great escape!
