All aboard!
Step inside the Blackville Discovery Center's interactive train-inspired museum where visitors journey back in time to the Civil War, when the union army under the command of the infamous General William T. Sherman crossed the Savannah River in early February, 1865, cutting a 30- mile path of destruction.

While excavating a prehistoric site along the Savannah River in Allendale County, S.C. in 1998, archaeologists from the University of South Carolina made a curious discovery.

Known as the Topper Site, this archeological treasure is one of a handful of sites in the eastern U.S. producing evidence that humans lived in the western hemisphere during the last Ice Age.

Since this landmark discovery, the Topper Site has received national and international media attention from CNN, U.S. News and World Report, Newsweek, National Geographic, The New York Times, Scientific American and Science Magazine.

Grab the family and take a ranger-guided tour through history at the site of one of the Confederacy's last stands against the loathed General William T. Sherman during the Civil War, which took place in February of 1865.

One of Nature's mysterious artesian wonders bubbles from the rich soil of the Salkehatchie, creating a refreshing underground spring that Native Americans once considered to be sacred with healing properties.

At 15 Elm Street, there is a place where you can climb 100-year-old stairs. They will lead you to the top floor of the Hampton Museum and Visitors' Center, which was once upon a time The Bank of Hampton, built in 1892.
