Walk on the very spot where English Colonists in 1670 established the first permanent European settlement in the Carolinas. Among the park's unique features is the Animal Forest, a zoo that's home to species the settlers would have encountered. There's also the Adventure, a life-size reproduction of a 17th century trading vessel. Click here to view photos of the restoration process underway. In addition to learning about maritime trade, tour the actual landing site and explore how Charles Towne established itself as a permanent community and eventually became one of the wealthiest colonies in America! Observe archaeologists in season as they uncover the hidden history of the site including American Indian activity dating back thousands of years. Attend regularly scheduled programs exploring the site's agricultural, African-American and women's histories, including connections to the Caribbean.
