When considering a trip to South Carolina, most people think of the food, the southern culture, and the Lowlands. But, there's so much to this unique state. In fact, there are certainly quite a few surprises around every corner. For instance, while there may not be many Amish churches or communities, there is one that's worth exploring. Although the entire small town of Blackville isn't Amish, there is a strong community of Amish people and businesses here. If you love everything Amish, a day trip to Blackville is certainly in order. Take a look at a few of the things to see and do in this tiny town.

Blackville is a small, close-knit, community located approximately 45 minutes northeast of Augusta, GA.

Although Blackville contains other churches, it is also home to one of the few Mennonite churches in the state.

The members of Calvary Fellowship Mennonite Church have never met a stranger they didn't welcome. The church was formed in the 1960s and is certainly just as friendly as the very first day it opened the doors.

Additionally, the Mennonite community in Blackville also has a private Mennonite School.

Right in the middle of town on Main Street, Miller's Bread Basket is an Amish-Mennonite restaurant and bakery you'll want to visit (we recommend lunchtime!).

Their Amish buffet is filled with delicious food and paired with fresh bread that is baked on-site at Miller's. Treat yourself to a delicious South Carolina Amish community meal.

Over on Healing Spring Road sits the Healing Springs Country Store.

It's operated by the local Mennonites and is filled to the brim with dry goods, fresh preserves, canned items, and some locally-made crafts. They also serve some of the best local food you'll ever eat.

Look forward to browsing their homemade remedies, including this signature lye soap created to keep the no-see-ums and mosquitoes at bay.

Speaking of home remedies, it's not Amish-related, but the South's famous God's Acre Healing Springs is worthy of a visit during any trip to Blackville or even if just passing through; although, we think it's one of the best day trips you could take in South Carolina.

The spring has been the source of water for healing whatever ails you for quite a long time. Upon the death of the last owner, it was deeded to God so that it would always be available to everyone (for free!) to partake in the healing properties of the water from this spring.

Bring containers and fill them all!
