About the COKER SPRING
Coker Spring, located on Coker Springs Road Southwest in Aiken, South Carolina, is a historic site that has been providing fresh drinking water since prehistoric times. The spring served as a vital water source for English settlers in the area and later became the main water supply for the city of Aiken when it was incorporated in 1835. The spring house, built in the early 1800s with a Greek-style facade added in the 1850s, stands as a reminder of its importance in the region's history.
Coker Spring was a popular stop on the stagecoach route from Abbeville to Charleston and has changed hands several times throughout its history. The property was eventually deeded to Aiken with the stipulation that it be freely accessible to the public for drinking water and other uses. Today, the spring is a fresh water source and a significant archaeological site that sheds light on the area's past.
The South Carolina Picture Project celebrates the beauty of the Palmetto State and aims to preserve its disappearing landscapes, including Coker Spring. The project relies on the support of generous donors to continue its important work of documenting and protecting South Carolina's historic, natural, and cultural landmarks. If you have enjoyed learning about Coker Spring and other sites in South Carolina, consider making a donation to support this valuable project.
Reviews of COKER SPRING
"Whether you are visiting Aiken or a local, Hitchcock Woods is a must see for all nature lovers. Serene and tucked away, the Coker Springs entrance is easily accessible and easy to navigate. Beware it can be very muddy as Sand River will fill whenever there is heavy rain."
"Road after rain is not good for sedans fyi but a great location and walk since south boundary entrance is closed"
"Took our son there 10 years ago and now we got the take our grandson"
