The South Carolina National Heritage Corridor is excited to announce our new venture to celebrate the people and places of the South. In over two decades of service to our state we have witnessed the emergence of a "New South": a south that holds to tradition while integrating modern living. This is the essence of The Southern Edge.

MISSION

Published for the spirited and sophisticated reader who is passionate about the culture, lifestyle, business and enrichment of the Palmetto State. Inspired by modern living, yet rooted in rich tradition, we are dedicated to celebrating and showcasing the best of life in the South.

PHILOSOPHY

We believe the idea of tradition is ingrained in the souls of Southerners. We have a relentless respect for our deep heritage and an unwavering dedication to living out the traditions of the past.

We believe tradition can be honored while simultaneously welcoming contemporary thought and style and there is a movement to merge these two lifestyles through intentional, healthy and meaningful living.

We believe happiness is rooted in simplicity.  If our minds and places are
free of clutter, there is more room for things that matter.

We believe local is better.  It’s about being a part of a larger community.  It’s about connecting with those who grow, catch, brew and create our food and that closer means fresher, tastier and healthier. It’s choosing fruits and vegetables in season, drinking wines from vineyards in the region, seeking out the work of local artisans and supporting independent, locally owned stores.

 
We believe in leaving a positive fingerprint.  The measure of our success will
be the condition on which we leave the world for the next generation.

We believe these thoughts embody the emergence of the “New South” and
we’re honored to be presenting this movement in our pages.  

Thank you for joining us on this journey.
