The American Heritage Festival:
From Swamp Fox Muskets to WWII Machine Guns—Where History Comes Alive!
This is the real ground where Francis Marion operated. We don’t do fake history. You’re going to see muskets fire, cannons shake the ground, and a WWII aircraft fly over. We have the 2nd South Carolina Regiment, German paratroopers, and now the French & Indian War to show you how Washington learned to fight. There’s good food, period crafts like blacksmithing, and plenty of open space. It’s loud, it’s interesting, and an amazing day out for families and history buffs alike.
