Founding Mothers’ Event – Ft. Motte

Please join us at Ft. Motte as we celebrate the Women of South Carolina who made the Revolutions successful.

In this extraordinary and historic year, we invite you and your family to a Saturday picnic celebrating the Founding Mothers of
Revolutionary South Carolina! Experience the scenic hilltop high above the Congaree River, where Rebecca Motte lived and where the pivotal battle and British surrender took place. Enjoy battle site artifact displays and meeting renowned S.C. historians, archeologists, and authors, including Dr. Steven Smith and Peggy Pickett. Peggy will lead an engaging talk about Rebecca Motte and Polly Brewton, a young Patriot.

This free event is open to the first 300 attendees.

Arrive any time after 11 AM.

Bring your own lunch, chairs and picnic blankets, and we’ll provide drinks and desserts.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
