Homeschool day at Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site brought colonial history to life in the middle of the Lowcountry. Here are the top 5 things to do while you’re here:

1. Explore the remarkably preserved 1757 tabby fort and learn how early settlers built with local materials

2. Walk through the archaeological areas and see ongoing excavations that uncover daily life in the colonial town
3. Visit the ruins of St. George’s Anglican Church and connect architecture to the town’s religious history

4. Follow the interpretive signs to discover the stories of merchants, tradesmen, and families who lived here

5. Walk along the Ashley River and discuss how geography shaped trade, travel, and community life in colonial times

A day here turns South Carolina’s early history into something kids can see, touch, and imagine.
