Lenoir Store
The Lenoir Store built in 1869 is an historic general store building located at 3240 Horatio Road in the High Hills of Santee community of Horatio, South Carolina. It stands on the same site where the Lenoir family has operated a general store since before 1808 and "is the oldest business establishment in Sumter County". Since 1900 it has served as the post office for Horatio Zip Code 29062. On July 3, 1997, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. As of that date, it was still being operated by members of the Lenoir family. Lenoir is pronounced le-nore or len-wa by some of its more northern members.
In 2019, Sherry and William Drawdy of Salt Creek Antiques, helped the Lenoir family restore the store to its former glory. On August 31, 2019, a re-grand opening was held, bringing the community of Horatio, and surrounding area's together to celebrate the history of the store and to ensure it will continue on for year's to come.
