On my most recent trip to Columbia, b1bob and I made our first stop in downtown to snap this photo of . . . well, I don't really know what it is (other than the obvious . . . a giant silver colored leaning fire hydrant)! I guess some might call this modern art. Some might call it a sculpture gone terrible wrong. And still others might call it a dog's fantasy!!
congaree swamp national park is located about 30 miles east of columbia. this 27,000 acre park is a flood plain of the congaree river. the park offers camping, canoeing, hiking and nature trails. the congaree swamp is the oldest old growth flood plain forest in the united states. at the visitor center you can take a 2.4 mile boardwalk which gives you an excellent overview of the park's ecosystems. for those interested in nature and ecology the congaree swamp national park is well worth a visit in the columbia area. for more information see my congaree swamp national park pages.
from downtown columbia take I-20 or I-26 to I-77 on I-77 take exit 5 to SC 45 east. on SC 45 go 14 miles to the park entrance.
On the back side of the State House (which I'll define as the side opposite to Gervais Street) there is an impressive equestrian statue dedicated to Wade Hampton. Hampton was the commander of the Hampton Legion during the Civil War and was elected as the first governor of South Carolina after the Reconstruction. It was sculpted by Frederick W. Ruckstull.
The University of South Carolina at Columbia's campus is easy to tour. Just head to the original campus known as "the Horseshoe." It's an easy area to see on foot surrounding a great campus green. The campus was originally chartered as
South Carolina College in 1801 and many of the original buildings still survive. Click on the link below for a virtual tour of the Horseshoe.
