About 33 miles west of Charleston, you’ll find Parkers Ferry, S.C. — a small community with a big history. It was once a major thoroughfare crossing the Pon Pon River, now known more commonly as the Edisto River, and the location where the Revolutionary War’s “Swamp Fox” Francis Marion planned and pulled off a notable ambush in the summer of 1781.
Many of the most famous figures from the entire war on either side participated in the fighting here, such as Francis Marion, Nathanael Greene, Banastre Tarleton, and Henry Lee. This tour takes you through some of the most important battles fought in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War.
