Defending Carolina Civil War Battlefields Tour

Join expert guides at two well-preserved battlefields along the line of advance, Rivers Bridge State Historic Site and Congaree Creek. Both sites provide a deeper understanding of what the Union Army faced and how the Confederate defenders hoped to delay its advance. 

Check in after 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 20, then enjoy the evening at the park or visit the town of Santee. On Wednesday, meet at the park office and travel to Rivers Bridge State Historic Site to tour Rivers Bridge, travel to Congaree Creek for lunch and tour the Congaree Creek site before driving back to Santee State Park. Check out before 10 a.m. Thursday, or add an extra night (before the program, too) for $49 per night, based on availability. Registration deadline is Feb. 13, 2018.
