Can’t-Miss Southern Roadside Landmarks

Peachoid
294 Peachoid Road, Gaffney, South Carolina 

Standing 135 feet over I-85, the Gaffney Peachoid is one of the most recognizable water towers in the country. Created in 1981, the tower represents Gaffney’s place as the “peach capital of South Carolina.” With a façade painted to mimic fuzz and a seven-ton leaf dangling from the stem, the tower is tall enough to be seen for miles down the interstate and big enough to hold one million gallons of water. It’s made appearances in books, movies, and television shows including Netflix’s House of Cards.
