 Living History Park
299 W. Spring Grove
North Augusta, S.C. 29861
803.279.7560
The largest and oldest event is Colonial Times: A Day to Remember. Held the third weekend in October, this event offers an opportunity to understand what daily life was like for the people who settled our area. June is the time for Under the Crown. It is 1780 and the colonies are in rebellion. Come out the weekend of June 7–8, 2008 and see this conflict, a very uncivil war. Find out what happens when the Crown moves in, old scores are settled and lives are changed forever. We are most pleased and excited to announce the call for artists for the fifth annual Olde Towne Artisans’ Fair. The purpose of this The Artisans’ Fair is to highlight a wide array of Fine Artists and Skilled Artisans. In addition to booths displaying items for sale, several sites throughout the park will have craftsmen demonstrating their skills.
