SC250 Charleston honors the men and women who shaped a nation here in our city
The people of Charleston played a crucial role in the American Revolution and in the advancement of our nation’s ideals. SC250 Charleston’s mission is to explore their myriad stories, and to educate and inspire the public through commemorative events and educational programs so that everyone may rightly see themselves as a part of America’s story.
SC250 Charleston’s mission is to educate and inspire the public through innovative commemorations, events, and educational programs. We seek to be…
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.
