Wild animals, the Spanish, Native Americans, disease! South Carolina’s colonists had many worries upon their arrival in the new world.
Learn about the rationale for these fears and how the colonists protected themselves.
This event will include cannon and musket demonstrations, a crime and punishment program, costumed re-enactors, stories of colonial espionage and more.
This is a family friendly event.
There's always more to do at Charles Towne Landing. Visit the museum, enjoy an audio tour along the History Trail, or walk through the Animal
Forest to encounter the animals that roamed Carolina before cotton was king and rice reigned supreme.
