The small town of Meggett thrived at the turn-of-the-century as a Lowcountry railroad hub and major distribution point for one of South Carolina's largest oyster and fish canneries. Today, the town's proud planners and residents are actively revitalizing the town's assets around a project aptly called Meggett 1925, reflecting a return to the community's glory days. New features and renovation of existing properties include the Donor's Pavilion and a new community park with a pond, walking trail, shelters, benches, and a playground. Sidewalks, historical lighting, and landscaping enhance the quaint downtown district, a focal point of community events and celebrations. In addition to the popular arts and crafts festival called April in Meggett, residents gather each holiday season at the center court of Donor's Pavilion for the Meggett Christmas Tree Festival and Tree Lighting celebrations.
