Archaeological Adventure

We hit the road to Charleston to check out what history we could discover at Colonial Dorchester and Charlestowne Landing.

Colonial Dorchester gave us a peek into colonial life in South Carolina as far back as 1697! Students were able to tour and participate in the excavation still happening on the site today.

Charlestowne Landing is the preserved site of the first English settlement in South Carolina, founded in 1670! Students were able to tour the property and see how archaeologists have used their discoveries to recreate structures present in the original town.  They also had fun simulating how different people groups supported each other's societies with the trade game.
