South Carolina State House

The heart of the Great State of SC. History emanates from the grounds; with the removal of the confederate flag, it's even more inclusive. Great to work out or maybe even meet local state employees!

It doesn't have to be a virtual lobbying day to visit South Carolina's Statehouse. Make sure you take a picture with the statue of John C. Calhoun and watch a session in the gallery .

Really enjoyed the tour (they're offered basically every half-hour during the week), even with a whole class full of elementary-schoolers.

The intention when planning this building in the 1850's was to rival or better the U.S. Capitol. Get the details in this C-SPAN American History TV video. Read more

I got a personal tour by my senator's aide. Great building, history, and if Congress is in session it is interesting to watch.

The building was not destroyed during the occupation of Columbia because Sherman considered it “handsome”. On the western and southern sides , stars mark where the walls were hit by Union cannonballs.

Look for the six bronze stars on the State House. Each of them shows where Sherman 's cannons hit during the Civil War.

It was a nice place to take my students on a field trip. Lots of history there.

Excited to be here at the Capitol in Columbia with J.C. Watts. Thanks for the amazing turnout and thanks for your support!

The capitol was under construction during the capture of Columbia, but survived the Union fires. However, its plans were lost and the building was not completed until 1903. (From Aerial America) Read more
