1783
On this site stood The City Tavern where on August 29, 1783, forty-three officers of the Continental Army residing in South Carolina met at the call of Major General William Moultrie to establish The Society of the Cincinnati in South Carolina. The society's purpose was, and is, to keep alive the principles of liberty for which its founders had fought and suffered for eight years during the American Revolution and to perpetuate these values through their descendants.HM Number | HMIAO |
