Preserving our history, inspiring our future.

SC250 Charleston supports and encourages new programs, events, and offerings from our remarkable partner organizations that are distinct, creative, and unique to the Charleston area.

We encourage the development of compelling events, activities, performances, and programs that will appeal to all learners, ethnicities, and points of interest.

We seek to advance the public’s understanding and appreciation of Charlestonians’ role during the American Revolution.

We seek to commend the achievements, honor the sacrifices, and acknowledge the shortcomings of our forebearers.

We seek to increase awareness and appreciation of Charlestonians from the Revolutionary War period who have been left out of the traditional historical narrative- women, children, enslaved and free African Americans, Indigenous people, Jewish Americans, Hispanics, and others.

We will encourage the development of research, educational materials, exhibits, and other displays that will last beyond this commemorative period. And our citizenry, informed and inspired by our programs, will share our revolutionary spirit with future generations.

We commemorate the pivotal years of South Carolina's founding through educational programming, events, and historic preservation from 2020 to 2033.
