Hopelands Gardens is a 14-acre estate built in the late 1800s that was donated to the public by the very generous owners, the Iseline Family, in 1970. For the cost of its free admission you can meander paths shaded under 100 year old live oaks as you peruse the grounds and imagine life as a highfalutin’ estate owner back in the day. Visitors also get to check out the awesome “Dollhouse,” the former playhouse and schoolhouse of the Iselin children. The Hopelands hosts special events like concerts in the summer and an annual favorite: Christmas in the Hopelands. Every night during Christmas in the Hopelands the gardens are lit up with over 100,000 lights to get visitors in that warm and fuzzy holiday spirit.

The museum displays items reflecting the county’s history. The museum hosts special events, teacher workshops, tours, and lectures. The grounds are currently being developed into an arboretum and nature trail. There are also two other historical spots to check out while you’re visit the mansion: an 1890s one-room schoolhouse and a log cabin built in 1808.

How is the public transportation system in Aiken?
Not great. As a small city, Aiken is neither large nor dense enough to support a viable public transportation system. Being a small enough town in terms of area, it's possible to walk and bike to certain places, but the roads are rural and not terribly conducive to this type of transportation. In addition, hot summers and cold winters can make non-car transportation unpleasant. All of these factors make for a very car-oriented town.
