COLUMBIA, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - SC 250, a statewide organization commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War, is bringing an immersive historical experience to all 46 South Carolina counties. The interactive exhibits go far beyond traditional battlefield narratives to showcase the complex reality of America’s founding conflict.
“People do need to know that it really was a Civil War and it involved everybody,” said Molly Fortune, chief executive officer of SC 250. “Women, children, Native Americans, free and enslaved, loyalists along with the British and the Continentals. So in each area here, it’s a little reminder of what that actually looked like. It was a whole lot bigger than just the battles.”
