| In today's fast-paced, hectic society, we all find ourselves searching for serenity and a sense of belonging. Lenora's Legacy, a social event facility located near scenic Highway 11 in Gowensville, S.C., allows visitors and guests the opportunity to experience the graciousness and charm of days gone by.
When planning weddings, family get-togethers and class reunions, the traditional choices of church social halls or country clubs typically do not allow for all-day or full-weekend outings. Lenora's Legacy allows families and friends separated by miles and hours of travel the ability to enjoy the entire event for as long as desired. A truly unique facility, Lenora's Legacy has been tailor-made for all-day or lengthier events. Situated on 30 acres of prime farmland at the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Lenora's Legacy, built in 1900, includes the totally renovated 2,600 sq. ft. country manor, gazebo, well house, country store, and a large pavilion. The farmhouse is exquisitely furnished, and offers a full kitchen, dining area, living room with fireplace, upstairs sitting area, three bedrooms and three full baths. Each room has been tastefully decorated with charming items reminiscent of simpler times. The inviting, wrap-around front porch offers a restful spot for gathering and relaxing. From the brick patio area at the rear of the home, guests can enjoy peaceful and lovely vistas of rolling farmlands and wooded areas. Upon entering, guests are welcomed to the grounds by way of a winding drive bordered by dry stacked rock columns and walls. The property's lush landscaping features majestic pecan and cherry trees, azaleas, hollies, butterfly bushes, nandinas, and an amazing variety of other exquisite plantings. A flowing two-tiered fountain within a circular well adds both a unique and soothing touch to the brick patio area with four white columns encased in flowering vines. The ambience for evening events is further enhanced by soft outdoor lighting adding a romantic touch. Gently meandering pathways trail through the lawn and lead to the 20' x 20' white gazebo, offering the perfect site for a truly unforgettable wedding ceremony. The spacious pavestone circle beneath the gazebo easily accommodates a wedding party of 30. The 88' x 50' pavilion features a large, open-air gathering area perfectly suited for wedding receptions and family reunions. Completely renovated to include a stage area, lighting, fans, handicapped ramps, five women's and three men's restrooms, every amenity and detail ensures a most memorable and unique event your guests will talk about for years to come. |
