Connected to the Riverwalk along the west side of the Congaree River, the 12,000 Year History Park has been witness to 12,000 years of history from mammoths to Native Americans to Revolutionary history. When the British abandoned Fort Granby they retreated along what we refer to as the Old State Road. Learn about this and other American Revolution events such as Eggleston’s Capture and Rawdon’s Skirmish in the interpretive signs along the trail. A visitors center is coming soon. While the park and trails are free to access 24/7, visit their site for special events and regular tour information.
