The site is located on a marshy point along the Ashley River where a small contingent of English settlers landed in 1670, paving the way for the establishment of South Carolina. There is plenty to see and do – you can start by taking an audio tour of the history trail to find your bearings. Children can experiment with hands-on interactive exhibits at the Visitor’s Center before boarding a 17th century replica sailing ship to get a glimpse of life on the high seas. Canon demonstrations and the Animal Forest Zoo complete the picture. You could also rent bikes and explore over 80 acres of gardens.
