Review:
Charles Towne Landing is a State Historic Site located on a marshy point off the Ashley River. This is the spot where in 1670 a small group of English settlers landed and established the future Carolina colony. Charles Towne Landing Visitor Center offers hands-on exhibits, knowledgeable staff members answer questions, and visitors can take a self-guided audio tour on the history trail. They can also tour the Adventure, a replica of Charleston's 17th-century sailing ship, watch cannons fired, or observe bears, otters, bison, and other animals at the Animal Forest zoo set in a natural habitat. The Landing grounds include 80 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, a magnificent live oak alley, and the historic Legare Waring House.
