The Historic Village Of Gold Hill

My family and I drove from Waxhaw to Gold Hill on a Thursday only to be met with disappointment. Most of the shops in this little town are only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Dang, bad timing on our part. We still enjoyed walkin around town and seeing what we could see from the outside. I know my grandma really wanted to see the shops, though. All we were able to do is see the park which was open. That was pretty cool. There is an old jail there when you first drive in. And a bunch of old mining equipment. The coolest part of a crevice in the rock. There is a small set of stairs which goes down deep enough to see it. I don't know why that as so cool but it was.Since we wanted to see the shops and looked to see that they should be open on Sundays, we came back just a couple of days after we first came to Gold Hill. Struck out again! The shops still weren't open. It was a little early (11:00ish AM). We were hoping and expecting at least a couple of the shops to be open. What a bummer that they were not. Maybe the fall is off season and the summer would be better. I don't know. But we had just wasted another trip trying to see this place and ALL that is has to offer. So, 3 stars for now based on what we did see. Maybe if I can come back and go into some of the shops some time then I can reevaluate and increase the star rating.

In a world that's often hustle and bustle, the Village of Gold Hill is an oasis of serenity. From the quaint stores, to the welcoming shopkeepers, it was a superb experience. I'm so glad we went!

I am so charmed by this little Village! How could I have lived here so long without ever having made a visit? I happened to be in Mt. Pleasant shopping this weekend, and googled "cool things nearby". This place came up.Gold Hill is a super cute little village with sweet little shops, quaint bakeries and restaurants. I'm sure there is a lot more going on (and open) during the spring and in non-Covid times. As it was, I enjoyed one of the best cups of hot chocolate I'd had in a good long while. The stores are stuffed with adorable things to purchase and even if you aren't in the mood for buying, the place is awesome to just tool around and look at the charming buildings.I'm coming back when the weather warms up, you could easily spend an afternoon here!

Quaint little town that has about 13 different buildings that you can explore. There is an antique shop, bakery, market, restaurant, metal shop and they are soon to open a pottery shop. Not to mention that there are two cottages that you can stay in. We stumbles upon this town and explored for a bit and will come back to explore their restaurant.
