Clinton, South Carolina, is the home of Presbyterian College, founded in 1880. The classic Southern campus is complete with stately brick buildings and decades-old trees. This is perhaps why it was selected as the site for filming some of the thriller movie “Sleeping With the Enemy.”

Clinton used to be a mill town and is the location of Thornwell Orphanage, which was founded on Oct. 1, 1875, with a donation of 50 cents from a 10-year-old boy. The devastation of the South following the Civil War made this Presbyterian facility necessary, and it still thrives in helping children and families today.
