Charlestowne Landing SP: 10 '17




We paid a short visit to Charlestowne Landing State Park this morning. The Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site sits on a marshy point, located off of the Ashley River, where a group of English settlers landed in 1670 and established what would become the birthplace of South Carolina. Charles Towne Landing introduces visitors to the earliest colonial history of Charleston colony.



Unfortunately, we were limited on time so we concentrated on seeing all the educational exhibits in their visitor center, where we Interacted with hands-on exhibits and took an audio tour on the self-guided history trail.



There is much more to do and see in the park, including touring the Adventure, Charleston's only 17th-century replica sailing ship, see cannons fired, or taking a peek at otters, bears, bison and more at the Animal Forest natural habitat zoo. The grounds also include 80 acres of gardens, with an elegant live oak alley and the Legare-Waring House.



Unfortunately, today, the time we had was limited, but we'll definitely return.
