Description
Jasper County, South Carolina, is celebrating America’s 250th birthday by spotlighting its own revolutionary roots—centered on Thomas Heyward Junior, a signer of the Declaration of Independence born and buried at the historic Old House Plantation. Archaeologists are uncovering clues of British troop presence and the estate’s past as a rice plantation, while local militias’ fierce resistance in small battles like Coosawhatchie helped delay British advances. The county’s July 27th festivities at the plantation will bring storytelling, tours, and exhibits to revive this forgotten chapter of American courage and community.
