Dig into history at Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site. Discover how archaeologists see beyond written records and learn about past cultures based on artifacts left behind. Visit us for “Piecing Together the Past with Archaeology” for a first hand look at Charles Towne Landing’s archaeological resources. Meet Charles Towne Landing’s archaeologists and tour dig sites where Native American and colonial finds have been unearthed. Some of the hands-on activities you don’t want to miss: a pottery re-fit (an archaeology puzzle), dig boxes and a scavenger hunt. Sign-up for a behind the scenes tour of the archaeology lab to learn more about archaeology beyond the dig. Join us to discover the science of archaeology and the history revealed below the surface.
What to Bring : Water, appropriate clothing for weather
Fee : Park admission is $7.50/adult, $3.50/child, or free with Park Passport Plus
This year’s event will be a day-long program showcasing the park’s unique archaeological discoveries. Visitors will have the chance to handle artifacts, see an active dig site, and learn about the history and archaeology of the village. In addition to the archaeological festivities, a special living history demonstration provided by the Independent Company of South Carolina, Fort Dorchester Garrison will be ongoing throughout the day.
