As we approach the summer months after COVID-related lockdowns, there is still uncertainty regarding cancelled or postponed events. Aiken is no stranger to living in uncertain times. In fact, Aiken was known as a “grand health resort” for Charlestonians escaping malaria during the summer and wealthy northerners seeking refuge from bitter winters. The natural landscape of Aiken provided the perfect climate and a combination of warm, dry air scented with pine and spring water for healing. The winter colonists brought their horses to Aiken which is the backbone of our equine history today. Today, Aiken is a safe place to social distance during the gradual reopening of businesses. You can escape to the outdoors and unleash your creative side with photography while maintaining social distancing guidelines.
