Our vision is for our house mesum to become the premier heritage tourism destination in the upstate SC. Our long term goal is to become another reason to visit the upstate. We plan for our house museum to be a major historical site for school children across the state to visit. To accomplish, the Foundation sponsors a number of special educational events each year. We have hosted roughly 1,000 school children each year for our tours.

The Pendleton Historic Foundation owns and operates two antebellum historic homes-Ashtabula and Woodburn. The Foundation receives no federal or state government funding, and therefore relies on tours, special events, donations, and grants for operations and maintenance. The Pendleton Historic Foundation is a part of the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor. For more information on the Foundation including when Ashtabula and Woodburn are open for other guided tours, or to schedule special tours or events, please call (864)-646-7249, or visit

History

A recent discovery at Woodburn Historical House, just off Highway 76 in Pendleton, Sc is shedding new light on how the former plantation’s farm was operated. While working on clearning portions of the former plantation home’s historical trail, the foundations of the horse barn and the blacksmith’s barn were discovered.
