Spend the day at Charles Towne Landing

Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site sits on a marshy point, located off the Ashley River, where a group of English settlers landed in 1670 and established what would become the birthplace of South Carolina. Charles Towne Landing introduces visitors to the earliest colonial history of Charleston. Day-use visitors can interact with hands-on exhibits in the Visitor Center, talk to knowledgeable staff members, and take a walk on the self-guided history trail. Those who time their visit right may be able to step aboard and tour the Adventure, Charleston's only 17th-century replica sailing ship, see cannons fired, or take a peek at otters, bears, bison, and more at the Animal Forest, a natural habitat zoo. The park's grounds also include 80 acres of gardens.

Looking to host a special event? This historically significant property is also home to two unique venues.

Founders Hall complements the natural beauty of Charles Towne Landing’s charming setting while offering guests every modern convenience. In this gold-level LEED-certified green building, natural light streams through a glass wall that spans the length of the hall, while a landscaped courtyard beckons guests outdoors. Founders Hall is an ideal venue for rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, retreats, seminars, corporate meetings, and more.

The Legare-Waring House is nestled within the manicured gardens of Charles Towne Landing, the site of South Carolina's first permanent settlement. Built circa 1840, the house has hosted governors, international dignitaries and blushing brides alike. Adorned with quintessentially Charleston colors and furnishings, the Legare-Waring House offers timeless grandeur. One of Charleston’s favorite sites for weddings and other special gatherings, the house and its avenue of majestic, moss-draped oak trees marry historic charm with unique and flexible space. Come see it for yourself!
