Ralph & Ruth Ellen
Dickerson
Owners of the
Healing
Springs Country Store, just outside of Blackville, SC.
It is one of our most favorite places to go, when we go to the
natural healing springs called "God's Acre" to get the
free to the public water. The water at Healing Springs
is reported to be revered by the Indians during the
Revolutionary War.
We always stop by the quaint
little country store, where they have homemade breads, and
other goodies for sale. You will think you have stepped
back in time in this old fashioned store. There is
sliced cheese, sliced straight off of the big hoop.
There are children's bible story books, and jars of old
fashioned and canned goodies, and everything from homemade
dandelion jelly to pickled pigs feet. A unique old
fashioned novelty store. All sorts of homemade items and
foods that will bless you. Go by and see them
today. In season, there are also fresh vegetables for
sale.
They are located on Hwy 3, heading north out of Blackville, SC. Click on the link above for more
info!
