Situated at the headwaters of the Great Pee Dee River, Historic Downtown Cheraw is the regional destination for authentic South Carolina history -- for its Colonial past to the Civil Rights Era where vibrancy is cultivated and small businesses thrive.
Cheraw is home to a number of historic landmarks and attractions, including the Dizzy Gillespie Birthplace Park, honoring the jazz legend who was born in Cheraw and the Lyceum Museum. Cheraw also has several beautifully preserved antebellum homes in the residential district.
