From my house it’s an hour & a half drive to Sumter but we don’t mind. Swan Lake never disappoints. Especially at the holidays with the light displays. Fun and imaginative. Takes about 10 minutes to round the whole thing. But don’t be fooled, the beginning routes you through the tiny parking area and back out to the street but then you make a right onto the little side street that takes you through the rest of the pretty lights. Best part? It’s free to the public. Enjoy!

This small park forms part of a larger municipal park facility. I live within walking distance and visit it often, The little park itself It is always peaceful and clean and is kept in excellent shape by the maintenance crew. There are small ponds and plenty of small wildlife to watch for. Children love going here. It is adjacent to Sumter's world-class tennis facility that is the home to the Palmetto Tennis Center Invitational tournament each year, plus the USTA ITA Southeast Regional Collegiate Championships, and there are also many community sports fields hosting soccer and baseball. A visit to this park can provide you with a lot of excellent entertainment.

Thomas Sumter's final resting place is among his family, in a somewhat remote area, that is well maintained, and seemingly restful. A true monument of an American patriot, paid with honor, and laid to rest from so many unpleasant deeds needed to gain our freedom.
