Charles Towne Landing State Park

One of historic Charleston's many unique points of interest, this park is the
site of the first English Settlement (1670) in South Carolina. The park, a
nature preserve and historic site, brings to life the experience of those first
settlers. Charles Towne Landing interprets the first years of the colony with
hands-on activities. The full scale reproduction 17th century trading vessel
"Adventure" emphasizes the important role trade played in the development of the
colony. Other special features of the park include a natural habitat zoo, the
1670 Experimental Crop Garden and 80 acres of English Park Gardens. It is also
listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
