12th Annual Low Country Boil
On June 5th, 2025, the Fountain Inn Museum hosted its 12th Annual Low Country Boil—an unforgettable night filled with great food, live and silent auctions, local music, and a whole lot of community spirit!
Friends and supporters from across the Upstate gathered under the stars to raise funds for the Museum’s exhibits, educational programs, and ongoing preservation efforts. Guests enjoyed a delicious low country feast catered by The Farehouse, fun auction items (including a few show-stoppers!), and plenty of laughter and good conversation throughout the evening. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and everyone who attended, this year’s Boil was a huge success—helping us continue our mission to celebrate and preserve the history, heritage, and culture of Fountain Inn and the surrounding area.
Scroll through the photos below to relive some of the highlights from this year’s event, and stay tuned for details about next year’s Boil—we can’t wait to see you there!
A HUGE thank you to our amazing sponsors who made the 12th Annual Low Country Boil possible!

Ever find yourself driving past an old farmhouse and thinking: “I wonder who built that?” or “How is that place still standing?” You’re not alone—and that curiosity inspired this exhibit!
the homeplace shines a spotlight on some of the most fascinating old homes in and around Fountain Inn. These farmhouses—many 100 to 200 years old (and a few even older!)—were once surrounded by cotton fields and full of life, family gatherings, and hard work. Today, some have been lovingly restored while others stand as beautiful reminders of a bygone era.
You’ll find about 35 homes featured here, each with its own story. While we couldn’t include every farmhouse in this first exhibit, we hope to grow the collection—so if you have photos or memories of a historic home, we’d love to hear from you!
Come explore and discover the charm, grit, and heart that built our local farmhouse heritage.
