Richland County reflects South Carolina’s Revolutionary War legacy in the heart of the Midlands. Though no battles occurred here, residents like Col. Thomas Taylor joined the fight, and nearby the Battle of Camden shaped the Southern Campaign. Columbia, later chosen as state capital in 1786, honors heroes like Francis Marion and Thomas Sumter through its streets and markers. Today, the South Carolina State Museum, Hampton-Preston Mansion, McKissick Museum, and SC Archives & History preserve artifacts, stories, and genealogical records from this era.
