Hopeland Gardens is the kind of place that reminds you of who you truly are. The peaceful gardens featuring 100-year-old oak trees were bequeathed to the City of Aiken by Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin. The American heiress and sportswoman was the first woman to compete as a crew member in the America's Cup yacht race. To top off her achievements, Mrs. Iselin is believed to have planted the cedars and oaks which still grace Hopelands Gardens today. #discoveraikensc #keepaikensafe

Rainy days are perfect for exploring the Aiken County Museum. #discoveraikensc #cityofaikensc

Let's get in the harvest spirit and decorate downtown! #downtownaiken

Did you know? Aiken County was one of the first "railroad towns" to spring up in the mid 1830s when the world's longest railroad was built connecting Charleston on the coast and Hamburg on the Savannah River. The town is named for the president of that 136 mile long railroad, William Aiken. #discoveraikensc #cityofaikensc
