What it’s like
The place. Reevesville is a very small town in Dorchester County, South Carolina, and the people who live here know it as a quiet, close-knit place. Winters are mild and cool rather than harsh, summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain. Homes here are valued below the level in many parts of the country, and a small share of residents live below the poverty line.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and professional and business services also employing a good number. Very few work from home, so most people travel to a job. Across Dorchester County, some of the largest workplaces are Dorchester 02 Schools, Robert Bosch and the county government, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Colleton State Park is a protected area a short drive away, good for time outdoors along the water. A longer drive brings you to Santee State Park, a protected area, and to Lake Marion, a large reservoir. Eutaw Springs Battleground Park, an archaeological site, is also a longer drive away for those who like local history.
