GUERIN'S PHARMACY SOUTH CAROLINA’S OLDEST PHARMACY
Serving Summerville and Dorchester County since 1871
Welcome to Guerin's Pharmacy
Guerin’s Pharmacy, located in the heart of downtown Summerville, South Carolina, is the oldest drugstore in the state and has proudly operated as an independent apothecary since 1871. Serving Dorchester County and the surrounding Lowcountry for generations, the pharmacy has remained dedicated to personal care and trusted service.
Founded during the Civil War era, Guerin’s Pharmacy traces its roots to Dr. Schwettman, a Charleston pharmacist who relocated his business to Summerville during the war. After completing his military service, Dr. Henry C. Guerin purchased the Summerville location, establishing what would become a long-standing community drugstore deeply woven into the history and daily life of Summerville and Dorchester County.
