Fort Mill friends—this is one of those events you don’t want to miss.

As part of the 2025 South Carolina Strawberry Festival kickoff, you’re invited to go behind the scenes of one of the most iconic spaces in town: Col. Elliott White Springs’ private office, located inside the former Springs Industries building—now our very own Fort Mill Town Hall.
Springs Industries and the Springs Family are woven into the fabric of Fort Mill’s history. From textiles to town traditions, their impact can still be felt in the heartbeat of our community. That’s why this special, one-day-only tour is such a big deal.
Friday, May 2 | drop in between 2-6PM
Fort Mill Town Hall – 205 N. White Street
You’ll get the chance to:
- Step into the preserved office of Col. Springs
- Chat with volunteers from the Fort Mill History Museum
- See rare Town artifacts and historic memorabilia
- Enjoy light refreshments
This space isn’t normally open to the public—so whether you’re a local history buff, a Springs family legacy fan, or just love learning something new about the place you call home, this is your chance to soak it all in.
Space is limited, so we recommend showing up early to secure your spot!
