Take a stroll right out the front doors to Falls Park on the Reedy. A tribute to the Reedy River, which nourished Greenville's beginnings in 1770, the park is now an oasis in the heart of downtown with scenic overlooks, nature trails, a pond, landscaped gardens, waterfalls and a pedestrian suspension bridge.

Hop on one of the red and blue open-air trolleys to experience downtown Main Street in an exciting way. Adorned with cowcatchers in the front and wooden benches throughout, they're a memorable way to reach many sites downtown while taking a load off.

Experience the Pettigru Street Historic District, located to the east of the downtown area and containing 88 distinct structures, the majority of which were built between 1910 and 1930. The area is unique in the city for its evolution of styles, from the Victorian era to the early 1930s. Because of the wide variety of architecture, the vast neighborhood was nominated to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1981. It is also the largest historic district in the city.
