    I love Hartsville, SC! The local college brings people from all over to experience the little town. There is nothing better than a community having a home town feel when you enter the town. Any and everyone can fit right in and feel like they are apart of each others lives.
    Quiet, comfortable. Love the town and the friendly people. New fun amazing water park built, some good places to shop. Lots of outdoor things to do, parks for the kids to run around. School system isnt the greatest but the teachers care very much about their students. Great place to raise a family.
