Charlestowne Landing

(approx. 3 miles NW of downtown Charleston, off highway 171) This newly restored park is located on the spot on which the original settlers landed and lived (1670–1680). There is an extensive animal forest habitat, historic re-creations of a British Settlers’ homesteads, a full scale replica of a 17th-century trading vessel, and other attractions to help you envision what it must have been like for the early settlers.
