Happy Juneteenth from Hampton County Government!

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, hope, and the enduring strength of those who came before us. It is a time to reflect on our shared history, recognize the progress that has been made, and continue working toward a future built on unity, understanding, and opportunity for all.

As we celebrate this important day, may we remember that freedom is not only something to be remembered, but something to be cherished, protected, and extended through kindness, service, and love for one another.

Please be advised that Hampton County Government offices are closed today, Friday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth. Offices will reopen on Monday, June 22, during normal business hours.

From all of us at Hampton County Government, we wish you and your family a safe, meaningful, and joyful Juneteenth. May we continue to honor the past, embrace one another in the present, and move forward together with hope.

❤️💚🖤

From our friends at Palmetto Railway:
🚂 Rail Safety Reminder for Hampton County Residents 🚂

With school out for the summer and more people spending time outdoors, Hampton County would like to remind everyone to stay safe around railroad tracks and crossings.

While train traffic on the Salkehatchie Rail line may be infrequent, trains can operate at any time. That's why we encourage everyone to remember:

"See Tracks, Think Train."

Railroad tracks, bridges, and rail yards are not safe places to walk, play, take photos, or explore. Always use designated crossings, obey warning signs and signals, and stay alert around railroad property.

Operation Lifesaver offers valuable rail safety information, videos, and resources for families, drivers, pedestrians, and young people. We encourage you to take a few moments to learn more about staying safe around trains.

As always, thank you for helping keep Hampton County a safe place to live, work, and visit.

We wish everyone a safe, meaningful, and peaceful Memorial Day.

Shared from Hampton County Director of Veteran Affairs:

“Good morning,

We are asking for your assistance in sharing the South Carolina Women Veterans Survey and encouraging as many women veterans as possible to participate.
Women veterans are one of the fastest-growing veteran populations, yet many continue to face unique challenges related to healthcare access, benefits navigation, transition support, employment, and community connection. This survey is designed to better understand their experiences, identify gaps and barriers, and help improve programs, outreach, and advocacy efforts across South Carolina.
The success of this initiative depends on participation from women veterans of every era, branch, rank, and background. The more responses we receive, the stronger our ability to advocate for meaningful improvements and support services.
Please help us distribute the survey through your networks, newsletters, social media platforms, organizations, and personal contacts. Every response matters, and every voice is important.
Thank you for your continued support of South Carolina’s veterans and military community.

Very respectfully,

Dr. Caroline Fermin
South Carolina Women Veterans Coordinator
Director, Beaufort County Veterans Affairs
“Your Service Matters. Your Voice Matters.”
