Think again! Hardeeville and the surrounding areas are rich in history and natural wonders! Have you ever seen the Argent Lumber Engine #7? Or what about the Sergeant Jasper Park?
The Argent train Engine No. 7 was donated to the town of Hardeeville upon the closing of the Argent Lumber Company. This narrow gauge train is a rarity and attracts many people from across the nation. This wood burning steam locomotive with balloon smoke stack was built by the H.K. Porter Company around 1910. It was used by the Argent Lumber Company to haul timber from forest to mill. In 1960 the locomotive was donated to the City of Hardeeville for public display as a testament to the role that the timber and lumber industry played in the economic growth of Hardeeville.
The County owned Sergeant Jasper Park offers 132 acres of trails, picnic areas, and fishing lakes. It is also home to “The Sarge” a disc golf course popular with players from all over the southeast. Plans are underway to expand the trails, establish canoe or kayak waterways, and provide rustic cabins for week long stays in the park to enhance the enjoyment of the many species of waterfowl, reptiles, and native plants, all in an undisturbed wetland habitat.
