Located at the junction of US 278 and SC 64, the City of Barnwell straddles the South Carolina regional divide between Midlands and Lowcountry.

Barnwell Welcome SIgn

Melissa Roberts of Barnwell, 2010 © Do Not Use Without Written Consent

People began to settle here in the early 1800s and Barnwell was called “Red Hill” until it was incorporated in 1829. Back then, the town’s limits radiated just a three-quarters of a mile from the Barnwell County Courthouse, which is still considered the heart of the city.

The sign above sports a miniature replica of Barnwell’s famous sundial. The actual sundial is located in front of the county courthouse on Main Street. It was a gift to the city in 1858 from state senator J.D. Allen. The sundial is one-of-a-kind and still keeps nearly perfect time after all these years.

I was the hospital CEO of the Barnwell hospital and nursing home shortly before it closed. Barnwell is a pleasant place to live. I am not up to date on the access to medical care there.

I so much enjoyed Barnwell, my wife (Rosemary) and I decided to contract to purchase the J. O. Patterson Home. If all goes well we will be moving from North Carolina (Elkin) to 626 Hagood Ave. We love the home and look forward to maintaining its beauty and history. Everyone we spoke to of the city were very kind and helpful. Respectfully Edward F. Connelly

I was the Barnwell Hospital and Nursing Home CEO in late 1970s. My family and I lived on the hospital grounds in a dormitory which on one end was our home and on the other end two nurses lived. The hospital eventually closed as regional hospitals expanded. Photos are great.
