Landrum was named after Mr. John Landrum, who first bought some property here and donated that where the depot is for the railroad.

So the town was named after him.

Officially formed in 1883, Landrum, it's a great little city in the Upstate South Carolina, almost North Carolina.

Originally a farming community moved a lot of cows and farms and stuff around this area.

When the railroad came through Spartanburg on the way to Asheville, all the commerce and everything moved over to Landrum.

Our history is tied to the railroad.

You know, Landrum has many things to offer.

We're accessible to the Palmetto Trail, which comes off these mountains and down through town and makes its way eventually to the ocean.

We have the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center, which is a nature preserve that's just right on the outskirts of town.

We've also built a senior center.

We have the Landrum farmers market, that's a wonderful new venue that we built a year ago.

We're going to have a dedication ceremony and a ribbon cutting.

Landrum Farmers Market is open on Saturday morning from eight to 12.

This brand new facility has 11,000 square feet.

Our average is over 1000 people a Saturday.

We've been averaging 55 vendors most of those are farm producers.

We do have a few bakers and we limit crafters to six.

We are proud to hold the Little Sprouts Garden Club for children ages four and up.

We've actually planted a garden and they're watching it grow and helping take care of it.

I think what makes the Landrum Farmers Market unique is that it's a producers market.

You have to produce what you sell.

You have to grow it, cook it prepare it, make it in order to be able to sell it here.

Landrum was very fortunate that we have a good mix of restaurants, retail shops, and antique shops.

And so people love to come to Landrum visit and shop and shops and I have owned the restaurant for 20 years.

My husband and I moved here in 1996.

This restaurant was fascinating to me because of its location.

In fact, we kind of call this place the corner of the community.

We are a pretty traditional Irish English pub.

So we do have all of those items like your fish and chips, Guinness beef pie, but we also do things more like pain cut steaks, we have a baby back ribs on the weekend.

We have items for everyone.

My customer base here is just very, very locals have been my good customers since I opened my doors but we also have a very strong equestrian community here.

So there are people that come from all over the world actually.

Landrum is a very special community because of that small town feeling of community where you know everyone kind of call this is the Cheers bar.

People come in and if we don't know you when you walk through the door, I guarantee we know you by the time you leave.

We are P3 Retail for Rescue here in Landrum, South Carolina and we are a nonprofit for the local animal rescues Kelly and I started this P3 Retail for Rescue because we have a real strong need to help animals and we thought community could use help with rescue.

We take donations and we have some retail fundraising that we do.

And we also play bingo twice a month to raise funds for the local animals in need.

P3 stands for positive, powerful and persistent and we are offering.

We carry women's clothing and accessories household decorative and a lot of retail gifts to any sales that come from our store, 75% goes to help local animal rescue.

We have non local rescues that we financially send aid to.

We send them money quarterly to make sure that we are helping them.

We have a wide range of customers.

We're about 50% tourists that come to the Landrum area and 50% locals our customers come specifically help us now we do have really good products and we have great prices.

That's also a draw.

People get to shop and do what they want to do.

And the trickle down is that they're helping the animals also.

So it was really a lifelong dream of both of ours to be able to help the animals in any way that we could.

I'm Bishop Alfard Mullins.

I'm 93 and I'm the owner of Mullins Cleaners.

I came here when times were hard.

Mr. Earl Christopher.

He had this cleaner and I worked for him 20 years.

He was a good man.

And he helped me get on my feet.

He retired from here and I've been working ever since.

Oh it's been 50 Maybe 60 years Mullins Cleaners is a dry clean, clean clothes, suit, coats, dresses, horse blankets, and that is it do not dry clean.

We clean.

Our customer are folks in the city and far out and around.

I enjoy working here because my business is a good business to the community.

Came here in a time of integration.

I see Landrum turn around.

And when you got good folk, they help the city be better neighborhood be better and everything else be better.

I call this the city of pleasant living.

I'm the PR marketing director for the City of Landrum, so I have the fun job.

We have lots of great events in Landrum.

We have a spring car show.

We just had an April, we had 150 cars that showed up probably about 3000 people in town.

We also have our summer series of concerts.

It's called Music at the Market.

So beginning on June 24, we have concerts all the way through November, where everyone comes out to the pavilion people bring their chairs and have a great time.

In September.

We have Hogback Mountain Day, which is a wonderful heritage day event.

First Thursday of December is our Landrum Christmas parade.

It's a great event that brings about 4000 people into town, and then we have our Christmas tree lighting.

That's over at the new pavilion.

All around Landrum is just a wonderful place to be.

I think one of the biggest assets Landrum has an always has had is its people.

People are friendly.

They're hardworking.

I like Landrum because of the people.

Also, because of the location being in the foothills be close to the mountains is still close enough to get to Charlotte or Greenville, or, or Atlanta.

I love Landrum small town feel.

I love the friendliness.

We love our relationship with the other business owners and it's a very animal oriented community.

Landrum is a great small town, it's what everybody used to be.

It is a great place to visit because you get that it's a good place to live.

I know the city of land.

I know.

And they know me.

You know, the future is bright, I see more economy coming to Landrum and more businesses thriving.

We have a Saluda Grade Rail Trail project.

And these railroad here beside us will be eventually a 31 mile walking bike path that you can go from in South Carolina to Zirconia, North Carolina.

It'll bring more commerce to the area.

So you'll see more little small businesses grow up and evolve around it.

What we're most proud of here in Landrum is our heritage.

There's a lot of history in Landrum, we're really excited by our town.

We take pride in it, and we love it.

We have a tagline for Landrum, and it's called Love Landrum because there's so many things to love about Landon, whether it's the people or the shops or restaurants or little hiking trails or the walking trails, a great place to live.

This is our town.
