Charles Towne Landing Site
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 the South Carolina. Charles Towne Landing introduces visitors to the earliest colonial history of Charleston.
