South Carolina has more than 1,300 listings in the National Register of Historic Places, including more than 160 historic districts. You can also search records for National Register properties by location, individual, or topic through the Archives and History On-Line Records Index.^*

Use the map below to navigate to a specific county list of National Register properties in that county with links to:

• a summary paragraph describing the importance of each National Register proper
• photographs of each individually listed property and representative photographs for historic districts
• the complete text of the National Register nomination forms

Follow this link for a list of properties in the state that have been removed from the National Register   

Thanks to the South Carolina State Library and the South Carolina Department of Transportation:
A Library Services and Technology Act grant administered by the State Library and financial assistance from the Department of Transportation have helped make possible the scanning of National Register Nomination forms and photographs.

*Using the On-Line Records Index, you can search the National Register records for properties in a particular location (for example, Bennettsville); properties associated with an individual (for example, Wesley, John); or properties associated with a topic (for example, Civil War, Greek Revival, African American, or grist mill).  To begin a search go to the Department of Archives and History's On-Line Records Index, click on "Search Page," and select the database, "National Register Properties." note: This project is in-process; we have not yet added data for all properties.
