America turns 250.
Let's go find the candles.
Looking for a history lesson that doesn't feel like homework? You've found it. At 250history.com, the Semiquincentennial Series brings each state's distinctive landmarks to center stage to tell their fast and fun story.
We've wandered through big cities, tiny towns, muddy trails, and neon-lit highways-uncovering 5,000 historic gems along the way.
The Semiquincentennial isn't just a mouthful-it's a reminder that history is alive, sometimes weird, and always waiting to be rediscovered.
Whether you're traveling by road, by printed page, or by imagination; whether you are a lifelong native or visiting for a week, we invite you to explore 100 South Carolina landmarks that illuminate the one-of-a-kind story of the Palmetto State.
Revolutionary souvenirs... college sports... Robert Mills... coasters... kissing bridges... octagon houses... roadside architecture... beloved carbonated beverages... Sea Island cotton... the CCC... pedigreed seed... historic stages... Frank Lloyd Wright... auto racing... tabby... diners... the golden age of motoring... Rosenwald schools... thoroughbreds... minor league baseball... Carnegie libraries... five and dimes... early aviation... bucket list golf... peaches... the modern American resort... This book will have you telling stories like a native in no time.
The photos and stories collected here are a fast and fun way to learn the explanations behind the quirks, the traditions and the secrets that make South Carolina uniquely South Carolina. Why did state farmers say Blood Will Tell? Solved. What building ruined Charleston's skyline? A mystery no more. The one-time longest railroad in the world? Identified. The oldest bridge in South Carolina? Revealed.
It is a story only South Carolina can call its own. A story told in 100 landmarks. Almost all the selections within are open to the public, or at least visible from public spaces. So, fire up the GPS and see the story of the Palmetto State standing in plain sight on South Caorlina streets!
