Charles Towne Landing marks the 1670 site where English settlers established South Carolina's first permanent European settlement on a marshy point off the Ashley River. Visitors explore colonial history through hands-on exhibits, board a replica 17th-century trading vessel called the Adventure, observe native animals at the Animal Forest zoo, and walk 80 acres of gardens featuring a live oak alley and historic trails.
