This self-guided historic tour has 34 historic points of interest located in downtown Newberry.
The tour covers just under two and a half miles and should take less than an hour to complete.
There is a printed guide of the tour and they are available at the visitors center located at the old courthouse (corner of main & Caldwell streets) or from Newberry Parks & Recreation located at 1323 College Street, Newberry, SC. 29108.
The tour starts at the Historic Newberry Opera House and concludes at the Old Fire Station while winding through the downtown historic district of Newberry.
Be sure to go inside the Opera House and ask if they have time to give you the opera house tour as well. It is a very good twenty minute guided tour.
Newberry officially became a town in 1789. Since there were no other towns in the county to fit the bill as the county seat, it was decided that Newberry would be the county seat and so named Newberry Courthouse Village.
