40 Beaufort, South Carolina
While there is a Beaufort in North Carolina too, its southerly sister is all about Civil War-era splendor. Around every corner, you'll come face to face with well-maintained neoclassical mansions, antebellum-era homes, and plantations.
It might even look strangely familiar at times. That's because Tom Hanks ran through the town on several occasions during the filming of Forrest Gump.
