Take a drive deep into the heart of South Carolina's back country to scenic Blackville, S.C. where one of Nature's mysterious wonders bubbles from the rich soil of the Salkehatchie, creating a refreshing underground spring that Native Americans once considered to be sacred with healing properties. In fact, the aura of mystery surrounding the Healing Springs continued during the American Revolution. After the Battle of Windy Hill, wounded soldiers were allegedly brought to the Healing Springs in an attempt to restore their health by drinking this natural spring water. The soldiers survived their injuries and the legend lives on.
In 1944, local resident Lute Boylston deeded this land to God to ensure that everyone would have access to the mineral waters that flow from this natural spring. It is not uncommon to encounter faithful believers who religiously bottle the spring water for personal use. Folks come from all distances to take home a piece of the Salkehatchie Healing Springs legend.
