In as much as things always seem to progress and move forward, there are those among us who sometimes just wish things could simply stay the same – forever. There’s a small community, we can call it a village, in the middle of the state that comes as close to time standing still as we’ve ever seen. Take a look at Rembert, the unique village in South Carolina where time stand still.
Rembert is a census-designated place with a mere 306 residents. It was named for French Huguenot immigrant Andre Rembert. Just up the road a piece from Rembert, you’ll find the even smaller sister community of Boykin. Both places have Rembert addresses. Take a look at all the goodness they have to offer.
