Random Abbeville fact: In 2009, Abbeville became the home of the tallest building in South Carolina, the Prysmian VCV towner at 373 feet. In about 2014, a 427 foot VCV tower was built in Goose Creek, SC, making the one in Abbeville the 2nd tallest building in SC. What a great video!
I guess Randy Jones of Incredible Tiny Homes has brought attention to the Quiet Town of Abbeville SC. Randy's community will make homes for people with small income. I Pray it works out well for the people. Then they can afford to pay for security for the town. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜
You don’t have to have a small income! He has homes that are not as expensive as other builders BUT most people that live in his Tiny Homes are people that have retired from professional careers. People from States that had enormous House prices and taxes are escaping to South where life is much more affordable and safe. Yes, his exposure put town on the map nationally. Just unfortunate the Town Mayor treated the company as inhospitable as he did. There are hundreds from across the country looking for a pleasant an safe place to live. Oxford, Mississippi has had such a place to live for years. They welcomed retires and their $$$ to their sleepy college town with open arms and the income of town has improved to fold.
Yes, Abbeville is beautiful, until you listen to the townspeople on the channel 4 news, talking about how they don't want any "strangers" moving there, and don't want anything to change. Good luck with that attitude, folks. There are very few constants in life, and one of them is change. Too bad you've chosen to miss out on all the retired professionals spending their money in your pretty town every month.
Such a beautiful town with lots of history. Glad they’ve preserved those old buildings. I really liked the mansion. So nice the family gave it to the town. Good tour, Tony.👍😊💕
So many memories of my youth in this video, I spent a lot of time there visiting family, haven’t been there in years glad to know the town is as beautiful as ever.
Just moved out here don’t recommend if your younger like me. Not much to do but for older people wanting to settle down it’s honestly a good spot super quiet
Tony, I'm surprised you didn't visit Secession Hill in Abbeville. That's where in November 1860 the ordinance of secession meeting was held and the delegates were selected for the Secession Convention in December 1860.
Anthony Crawford owned 427 acres of cotton fields in 1916. Crawford, likely dead by that point, was still hung from a tree, and armed whites riddled his body with bullets, rendering it to a "bloody pulp" by the "bloodthirsty" white mob that resented his wealth. November 16, 1928 Crawford's 427 acres on Little River valued at approximately $20,000 was auctioned and was purchased by Col. T. G. White for $610.

Looks like a great place. However, when I looked up the crime stats they were not promising 😢
A concern for me as a single retiree considering a tiny home community.
@carmelitamorales6714 we moved out, to much crime and a mayor with criminal background
It’s only happen in the bad eras like the hood
Abbeville has tons of history.
Way more than you could imagine
Never see people in the streets.Wierd.🧐
I think that was on a Sunday afternoon
Polikoffs Department store Polish Jewish family that escaped the Nazis.

Always heard of it, but never considered stopping by. Thank you for the review👍

Hey Tony, my husband use to hunt down that way. You do a great job, love watching

Still it's a quaint little town
Go to greenville if you want to go out..
Is there a gym nearby?
Abbeville has a lot of history I live there and it’s a very small town it’s nice but not all that
what a cute town, thanks for sharing.
I live here, it’s eh at best, almost nowhere to eat but the scenery is indeed beautiful I can’t lie
I was born and raised here. Abbeville is hometown to one of the greatest and most famous entertainers of all time, Ms. Lena Horne.
I don't think so - Lena Horne was born in Brooklyn.

Actually just bought land in Abbeville area. Originally from Pickens to the North.

Thanks Tony ! 👍
Beautiful town. Thanks for the review.
Very informative video, I'm glad I found your channel. I have been to abbeville and it definitely sparked my interest for Carolina towns in general.
Wonderful! ❤
I live one minute away from there. It’s called the square.
Abbeville south carolina is my home town and i love it here juat a old country town
I am considering moving there, can somebody tell me what is up with the crime rate?
The mayor is a convicted felon, no lie... we moved out. Also, crime is all the time
Don't move to the hood
That’s where i live rn it’s amazing
I’m going to a Abbevile tomorrow
Have fun
I would like to start a tiny home park
Not happening ( minds of Mayor etc.). They afraid of what such places bring to community.
