1. Bicentennial Highlights Museum's Key Role in Preserving County's History (andersonobserver.com) — Anderson County residents can dive into bicentennial celebrations centered on the Anderson County Museum, which is preserving and reinterpreting 200 years of local history. The museum is expanding exhibits, planning a major education-gallery overhaul, and inviting community participation in events like the Oct. 4 bicentennial parade and a Woodstock-themed fundraiser, all while keeping admission free through county support and donations.
2. Groundbreaking held for $44M Murray Mill in Anderson (upstatebusinessjournal.com) — A $44 million apartment community called Murray Mill is now under construction in downtown Anderson, bringing 156 new units to 520 Fair Street off Murray Avenue.

3. Upstate firefighters rescue dog that fell into 50-foot well, crews say (foxcarolina.com) — Anderson-area crews, including the Anderson Technical Rescue Team and Anderson City Fire Department, helped save a dog that fell about 50 feet into an abandoned well near West Pelzer early Monday.

These are the 10 best pumpkin patches in the U.S.—and the No. 1 pick is in New England (bostonuncovered.com) — Denver Downs Farm in Anderson has been named one of the top 10 pumpkin patches in the United States by USA Today readers.
