M A Pace General Store — Attraction in Saluda

We had just hiked 9 miles on a nearby trail and were driving home thru Saluda when we saw several Ice Cream Cones dangling from the front of this store! What a great way to recover from all that exercise... We stopped in and found many available flavors of Ice Cream to choose from.

Mr. Leon Jordan himself is a walking Museum. And he knows people from all around. When I told him I was from a small town in South Carolina, he knew at least half a dozen people from that town. It was amazing...

They also sell ice cream that the mayor will...
