Greenville is located between the bustling metropolises of Atlanta, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina. It once served as a resort area for plantation owners, but it evolved into a hub for the textiles industry. This industry is no longer strong, but a connection to art and creativity is. The Greenville County Museum of Art features a number of southern and American artwork. Kilgore-Lewis House is the headquarters for the Greenville Council of Garden Clubs, boasting five acres of lush grounds and gardens. At the Greenville Zoo, over 100 different species of animals are exhibited. Wineries, offering tours and wine tasting, are also located in the Greenville area.
