Fort Dorchester Historical Site

We currently live in, North Charleston, South Carolina. There is so much history here! Right down the road from us there is the, Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site. It runs along the Ashley River and was a hot spot trading town in its day... (1697 - the Revolutionary War) 

The structure you see is what is left of the old brick bell tower of, St. George’s Anglican Church. It was built in 1751 In one of the pictures you see a long wall -- the wall and bell tower are made of oyster-shell concrete mixture called, tabby. 

I like to go here to just get away. Most of the time it is quiet, but they do hold reenactments from time to time. There is a $2.00 per person admittance fee. You can go here to learn more: www.fortdorchester.org
