Local history experience tours in Gaffney
Take an entertaining and interactive local history walking tour!
If you’re looking for a local history experience in or near Gaffney, South Carolina, you’ve found the right place. Red Umbrella Walking Tours offer offbeat looks at local history, culture and traditions in the unique small city that happens to sit between two Revolutionary War National Parks.
You may have heard of our big sisters, Greenville and Spartanburg, and that’s great! But the time has come for this little sister to shine. Gaffney’s got American Revolutionary War history and then some! With our walking tours, you can spend time in and experience the place that determined rebels settled and even more determined rebels with strong personalities formed into what it is today. You won’t forget some of our characters!
Our tours are designed to showcase our city AND our people. This makes our tours positively different than most tours, because anyone will tell you that people make a city great and truly remarkable; shaping it with every single event and milestone.
On our tours, you’ll admire the architecture of our historic & stately homes, our city landmarks and learn about the people and events and entertaining stories that shaped Gaffney, into the “Peach of the Upstate.”
