Charles Towne Landing, Shining Example!


This place is so cool! Most people have to drive half a day or more to get to a park of this caliber, and even then it is just the animals or just the scenery or just the living history. Charles Towne Landing has it all and right in the middle of everything!

"The Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site has been named the Shining Example Travel Attraction of the Year by the Southeast Tourism Society.

The award was presented to the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism at the tourism society’s fall meeting in Lake Charles, La.
The regional tourism organization honored the park for the successes that have followed an extensive renovation of the historic site where English settlers from Barbados founded the first permanent settlement in the Carolinas Colony in 1670."
