Farmer’s Society Hall, also known as Farmers’ Hall, is a historic building located in Pendleton, South Carolina, at 105 Exchange Street. Constructed in 1828, it is recognized as the oldest permanent farmers’ hall in the United States. The building is a two-story structure featuring Greek Revival architecture, with four massive two-story white columns on two sides. It has been well-preserved and continues to be in use today. ​

The Pendleton Farmers’ Society was established on June 12, 1815, by a group of prominent men in Pendleton, including Thomas Pinckney, Jr., who served as its first president. The society aimed to improve agricultural practices and promote rural living in the region. In 1828, the society purchased an unfinished courthouse building after construction halted due to the division of Pendleton District into Anderson and Pickens counties. They completed the building, which became the first permanent farmers’ hall in the nation. ​

Over the years, the Pendleton Farmers’ Society played a significant role in the agricultural development of the area. It introduced and promoted improved methods of farming and rural living, serving as a social and scientific agricultural organization. The society conducted agricultural exhibitions, including the Pendleton Fair, which featured livestock shows, produce displays, and home-grown products. Additionally, the society contributed to the founding of Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1899, which later became Clemson University. ​
