This year, the South Carolina State Library partnered with the South Carolina Relic Room and Military Museum for Revolutionary War Day, which highlights South Carolina’s rich Revolutionary War history and the many battles fought here, including Ninety Six, Sullivan’s Island, Camden, Kings Mountain, and Cowpens.
The fighting produced heroes whose names we still recall, such as the "Fighting Gamecock", Thomas Sumter, and the "Swamp Fox", Francis Marion. Visit our new SC250 display, courtesy of the South Carolina Relic Room and Military Museum, which highlights how the Sabal palmetto, South Carolina's state tree, became a significant symbol during the Battle of Fort Sullivan. The exhibit will remain on display through the end of this year.
