Historic Neighborhoods & Architecture Driving Tour

Greenville is a city that can be enjoyed on so many levels…and its historic neighborhoods and architectural highlights are some of its most enjoyable facets. Our city has great architectural examples of styles that span the last 200 years and charming neighborhoods that give them context.

Our downtown is blessed with a selection of historic neighborhoods that encircle our city center, providing a great mix of the progress surrounding the Main Street area with the stability of traditional domestic living. As the young village of Greenville formed in the late 1700s, homes were naturally scattered around the region with large tracts of land tied to them. This tour traces the development of Greenville's neighborhoods on the North and West sides of the Reedy River, taking you on a pleasant drive to see the variety of architectural styles, hear stories of their home-owners, and understand the role in Greenville's revitalization. Large digital photos shown on a screen in the tour van will show you how these homes and streets have developed over the years as well as views of the home interiors.
