Hampton-Preston Mansion
Dr. Sims was the founder of gynecological medicine. I approached the monument not knowing this. I wanted to get this monument at a corner of State House grounds for reasons of architectural contrast with the buildings across Gervais Street. On finding out Dr. Sims' field of practice, Mark was laughing like a hysterical hyena wisecracking and teasing me about it halfway down the road.
This is one of the grandest remants of the vast cypress swamps that once covered much of the southeastern US. Here are huge stands of cypress trees. A wooden walkway makes the swamp more accessible to hikers.
South Carolina is known as the Palmetto State, which recognizes the state tree (the Sabal Palmetto, commonly referred to as the Cabbage Palmetto), but more importantly is historically significant. On June 28, 1776, the British fleet's attack on Sullivan's Island was repulsed. The palmetto-log fort, under Colonel William Moultrie, withstood the barrage of British cannons until the fleet retreated.
This Palmetto Regiment Monument is the oldest monument on the State House grounds, erectedin 1858.
the governor's mansion is on the site of 1842 south carolina arsenal academy. the academy was destroyed by union general william t. sherman's troops in 1865. the governor's mansion was built in 1868. this beautiful and historic home has an excellent collection of period furnishings and historic relics. the mansion is open to the public by tour only. see the attached web site for tour information.
