CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
88 acres saved
Picture of Marion Square.
Home to a weekly farmers market and impromptu picnics, Charleston's Marion Square is also the setting for a Liberty Trail-sponsored archaeological study to document the footprint of the Horn Work.
This structure once stood tall as the defensive centerpiece for Continental commanders during the American Revolution. It was where American generals Lincoln and Moultrie surrendered to the British after a six-week siege that began on March 29, 1780.
The trust and its partners, including the South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust, have saved 88 Revolutionary acres around Charleston.
